Range Report: Texas Bond

[GFK]

I had a little derringer in 22 mag. for a good while, the extraction was always sticky.
The youngest daughter always liked it, so for her 18th birthday I gave it to her.
Never had the desire to replace it, now I'm not much of a snub-nose kinda guy but I'd buy one before I'd buy another derringer.

On a practical level, I can understand. On a nostalgia level, I did and still do look at a derringer as completing a set: level action, revolver and derringer. Maybe, I have looked at too many Westerns. In fact, my wife and I have been watching Have Gun-Will Travel. The lead character carries a derringer as a backup. Of course, snub-nose had not arrived on the scene yet. So, I guess the derringer filled the bill, until it did. However, they still appeal to me. I thought about replacing the one that I have or getting another. But, none, until now, seemed to catch my attending. I like the American Derringer. If I every decide to be in the market for another, I would probably look at that one, if the price is not too bad. Derringers seem like nice pocket guns to me.

I had the 45/410 barrel for mine but sold it along with a 9MM and another receiver. I think the 45/410 would be the best practical version.

Mines is a 38 Special. I think that two shots would stop or slow something .
