Derringers?

[Adam Helmer]

Mr. 16 gauge,

My older brother had a .38/.357 derringer he carried fishing. It was brutal with .357 loads in view of that skinny handle/grip. It was fine with .38 Special homemade shot loads; the snakes never complained.

I have a .38 cal. stack barrel that I really need to trade off. The trigger takes 2 fingers to pull and I really doubt that I could hit a man with it at 20 ft. the sights are so bad, and it does not point well. I believe it is a Davis and it seems well made, but I just like guns I can hit what I`m shooting at.

My late great-uncle Duke once said to me those double-doers (Remington Derringers) were good for only one thing. You had to be up close and personal, shove in your opponent's belly and shoot. I guess he knew what he was talking about as he was a railroad cop for 40 years. I did shoot one once in .38 Spl. and I couldn't have hit the broad side of a barn with it, even if I was inside.
