Is she a tack driver?

I have no idea. It is my usual carry piece & it is loaded with .410 shotgun shells, either #8 birdshot for areas where there might be innocent people close enough to catch a slug if I miss, or 000 buck if I need to blow a huge hole in something... I have never fired a .45LC in it.
You got the only other derringer I had! ROFL

Heres a pic...

I have no problem with it Rev. In my experience a derringer is a derringer...all shoot about the same. And the .45 Colt is a traditional cartridge. If no one minds, go for it.

I'm easy, lets open it up to anything classified a derringer shooting BP....

  I got a .45 Philly derringer, but cant hit the broad side of a wall tent from inside it with that thing. Fun ta shoot as long as I aint gotta hit anything with it.

Charles Bronson made a movie once in which he was a (body guard, I think) and carried that same derringer loaded with .410s.

Yep. count me in.  I got one like Old Salt.  .36 cal. smoothbore. Bout 6 feet and can hit a paper plate. anything further and I might as well unscrew the barrel and throw it at the target. LOL. Yall come up with a target and lets make some smoke.   Draw a fine bead on em, Son... Bobby

Yup. Y'all use the dueling target posted in the Dueling board, put it at 10 feet and see i you can put 4 rounds into it....don't care how many shots it takes...just get 4 in the target. Good luck all.

It is going to be difficult for me to participate. Ben Avery range has some weird rules regarding targets & this one may run afoul of them. If a target has human features (in this case the ears) they won't allow them. The standard police training targets, which are almost identical, are just fine. No ears... Go figger... Also, minimum range is 5 yds. For the pistol shoot we did on Jeans & this forum I had to shoot at a longer range than was called for, because they won't allow anything other than 5 yard increments. To drive somewhere out in the boonies where I could shoot would be fairly expensive, as my truck only gets 8 miles to the gallon... ROFL

Dryball

Remove the ears if you need to, use whatever range your required to...it's just for fun.
