I thought the same thing about my Davis Forty. The rifling is so light, I think of it as a smooth bore. Yet, it seems like that it will get the job done, within 5 yards or so. But, I do start to feel it, after about 7 rounds or so:fortyshooter wrote: ↑Thu Feb 13, 2025 10:25 pmWhat brand derringer do you have? One thing that did surprise me was how light the rifling cut is in the barrel like just barely there but somehow it works.
I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

Even a Derringer looks evil when it’s black.
