Great Gun Derringer
So I found these Czech made derringers by a company called "Great Gun". They are pretty sweet looking and come in 3 calibers, the most enticing of which is .54. Would any of you BP shooters be interested in these? There's a variety of barrel lengths and finishes and they even make a double rifle built on the same action.
Apparently in the area they're made they are used as carry weapons. This might seam funny but much like here they're unrestricted so folks younger than pistol age in their respective countries can tote them about. Also a .54 cal conical would be pretty decisive in a life or death situation.
I really want these imported myself just for the novelty of them, maybe to hunt with as well. With the double rifle on the same action it would be an ultimate BP hunting set. Should we petition Dixie Gunworks to bring these stateside?

This derringer looks cool. I really enjoyed my Bond Arms SSIV derringer, but of course, it wasn't BP.
There is a good video on loading and shooting of this derringer at http://www.wideopenspaces.com/shooting- ... derringer/ The fellow handled the BP o/u really quite well, especially when taking out the two cell phones.

Re: Great Derringer
interesting .... I didn't know they are still making black powder derringers .... I've fired a 357 Derringer and don't think I'd want to try and hold onto a 54 caliber one ..

Re: Great Derringer
I picked up a Davis 38 some years back (1993). Some say they are junk. It has worked fine for me throughout the years. Like a dagger, I view it for up close and personal use.
