TX OMFS Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I've never messed w/ a derringer. Don't they have a heavy DAO trigger w/ a guard? How would this happen? Something in the trigger guard when it hit the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarmanNick Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Depending on the derringer, it may not have a trigger guard. I have worked on several without them and would never consider carrying one. Safeties are usually cumbersome and not really as safe as they should be.

minderasr Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Why did the media choose to focus on and get a closeup of the Uplula? Did she not load her Derringer properly? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would this happen? Something in the trigger guard when it hit the ground? They interviewed a guy at a local gun shop and he proposed that the hammer was resting against the firing pin and thus hit the primer when it dropped. Most of the ones I have seen are single action so they have to be cocked. I don't think this was a fancy Bond Arms derringer. So with all that in mind if it didn't have some sort of transfer bar it probably just wasn't very drop safe even if it wasn't cocked. Or it is possible it got cocked in the purse and something hit the trigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moshe Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 1. Purse carry is stupid. Less time to respond, and if your purse gets snatched-so does your gun. 2. Reminds me of old ladies I saw back when they had qualifications, and classes in Texas. They got slide bit, and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. 3. She probably had zero real range time with her chosen weapon and thought it was "cute" and "little". 4. All of that equals a hole in the foot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jame Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 As God as my witness, people screwing up like this will eventually undermine the progress we've made. I'd load as many fees and charges against these screwups as I possibly could, just to make an example out of 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
