Thanks, EasyEd, for the fun video clip you posted today of the Clampett family shooting clays. Slingshot handling was quite impressive!

Remember the Clampetts?
-Ed-
You reminded me of another clay shooting video I watched when I owned a Bond Arms derringer. And this clay shooting was even done with the older style derringer trigger, which was quite a bit harder to pull than the triggers current-day models have. Not quite at the Clampett's shooting skill level, but fun to watch!

Right, quite impressive.
Especially for a gun that gets complaints about it's accuracy.
Although I sure do like mine, lol.

CGF,
I'm pretty sure I've listed these 2 vids before showing capability of a BA derringer. Gives ya something to shoot for!

I find the recoil pretty equal to the 45 LC 225 Grain I bought, all in all not bad.
But I did buy some HSM 200 Grain cowboy loads to see if I like them better.
I know I like the price better. I got them for 66 Cents per round delivered to my door.

Id like to try one sometime. Ive had one in my hand before but its been to long. Like to see what the trigger pull and hammer pull is like. Wouldnt care to much about the 45 colt loads I think I would carry it with 410 loads

Al, I'd agree exactly with Cowboy's eval of both the .410 and .45LC. The all-steel derringer is heavy and handles recoil with very little difficulty for either caliber. Also using Cowboy-action loads like CGF has is a plus.
Although that .410 caliber is marketed as a "snake slayer," which it is, with practice the derringer can reach out with center fire ammo as you saw in the videos. One time I shot mine at a black steel target and tried the "Back-Up" drill. If I recall, I think I reached 25 yards before I missed both o/u rounds. Darn good for me. Guess I "cheated" using a 3" barrel and even milder 9mm rounds.
It was a fun shoot.
