Not sure I really would want one of these, but the review is worth watching just for the crazy geezer laugh the older guy has.

Even loaded down to BP velocities......ouch

"No, really, that's OK -- go ahead and shoot up the rest of the box ... "

[GunnyMack]

Ouch- quit it .

[Pisgah]

Why? Just ... why?

[Ysabel Kid]

Agreed! Holy recoil Batman!!!

[marlinman93]

Why? Just ... why?

That's always been my response to all the hand cannons, or powerful rifle cartridges! Just how much overkill does a guy need? If it hurts the shooter, then what good is it?

Jeeze, and I thought a Freedom Arms in 500 Wyoming Express with a full house load was bad. -Tutt

That looks like fun,I' m gonna hold out for the slightly larger frame 50 bmg version.

[JOG]

No thanks, not for me!

A BFR in 45-70 with some of Randy Garrett's finest is a tad too much for me. Green box 405s are a piece of cake.
That BFR is one of the few I totally regret trading off. Grizz and I had a lot of fun with that one.

Much as I wish people were a little more reasonable I do remember an article in some gun magazine in the 80s were some one had taken a 1911 frame and built a single shot 50BMG hand gun on it.

People who buy these guns are the same kind of people who buy 700 hp Hell Cats....bragging rights.......the owners seldom use these to their full potential. .......they have lots of loot and want one of everything......ain't it great in America?.....the more guns out there in law abiding folks hands,,the stronger we are...except cheap foreign guns.....

It dont matter how reasonable, frugal or ingenious we are. We all have that certain gene that makes us want stuff we have no use or need for.

Very true!

I wouldn't mind a BFR in 30/30 just to DOWNLOAD to 32/20 velocities! Used to have a Ruger Blackhawk in 30 carbine BEFORE I got into reloading, man was that a LOUD sucker! Still kick myself for selling it off.

ya know, there was a time when fishermen had to be intentional about shaking hands, it was not too difficult to break somebody's hand. ask me how I know. nowdays i been losing my grip. somebody might be able to relate. cowboys and farmers and oil drillers who need a vice grip to keep from dropping the heavy object on the tender feet. in their prime, they would not have admitted that the derringer was any more than a drop in the bucket. the 45 Colt seemed kinda weak by comparison.

just sayin, we see that video and forget the way we were. or i see that video and forget the way i was . . . :)

You do realize, that that's already a thing, don't you?







I've got the .45 Colt/.410 version, and it's a blast to shoot, but I don't think I'd ever want to try the 45-70! Here's mine:

I used to own a TC Contender in 45/70, and while it could be shot well, it had very heavy recoil, so IMHO a 45/70 derringer would be terrible.
