tadbart Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Used to be, I'd question bout anything stupid/inbred/crazy. I asked "Why?" a lot. And it made me a very angry and antisocial person. To the point that it affected my work and social life. Nowadays, you could walk into my ER with one of these pistols hanging half out of your urethra, and I wouldn't DARE ask why. Who, What, Where, When, and How, all make sense. WHY will make you a very bitter and suspicious person. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Didn't Henry Deringer (no, that is not a misspelling) pretty much cover the single-shot pocket pistol in the 1860s? From a geek perspective, the barrel looks about as long as the danged bullet is. Using standard loads, how much propellant goes unburned? Is muzzle velocity measured in inches per second rather than feet per second? Will the bullet go three feet and just drop to the ground? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there are tons of smaller, lesser rounds that would provide better performance out of a barrel that size. That pistol is just silly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather have my Kel-Tec P3AT, if I’m carrying something small. I guess that is why they make so many flavors. So everyone can find one they like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentpoet Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I just discovered these on a gun store website about 20 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 For when you want to get close and personal, and both shoot and set on fire the other person, that's why. 2 hours ago, tous said: Using standard loads, how much propellant goes unburned? most of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockett Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 lol That's even less usable than my .500 Magnum snubby. Now a tiny 6 shot Five-Seven would be something for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyjohnson Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 i`m not an engineer or anything,i actually fix things,but. if i was going to build a break action single shot pistol i would make every attempt to make the grip more ergonomic,if i have the room without the mechanical s in the way,why would you have an ass ugly grip? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
