Section 8: Handguns Subject: Davis derringer Msg# 1172928

I can appreciate a derringer for its historic value and maybe as a curiosity, but never was interested in one for fun shooting and definitely not for defense. The fact that they are still made - and bought - blows my mind.
A member of my gun club once showed me the derringer he carried as a pocket pistol. We were at the range so I gave him my little KelTec .32 to try. He came back with a smile on his face; he actually could shoot groups with it and felt the recoil less! So more power to you, Robert, if you can find one that's buyable but they ain't for me. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Regret not picking one up in 38 Special when I had the chance, waaaay too expensive now IF you can find one for sale. Image below from Woody Foreman - Image Title: Davis derringer Image Info: I picked up this .25 cal. at the gun show. It was cheap and it's fun to plink with.  |
