You have to buy those derringers used now and the price is pretty high. You can get new two shot ones almost any caliber for $300 or so new. I liked the special magazine issue on the guns in the Appaloosa movie about 2008. I wish I could collect some of those old guns from about 1800 on up, but my wife said she would need a new larger house (maybe just for her.) I said "well, you have a barn" and the conversation went down hill from there. |

 . We did our own reloading at school as well. Clay target shooting was a fun if rather expensive sport, it only really happened for us because a couple of our teachers were enthusiasts. I learned to shoot on the farm, just part of growing as a farm kid, like driving a tractor etc., but it was participating in this sport where I really learned about gun safety. (After which I was often horrified to see the cavalier way that other people used them.)

Isn't "hammerless" the term they use for shotguns with no external hammer? Quote:
My concealed carry for example is hammerless. Less chance of being snagged on the draw. |

It is only lately as I get older, that I am clearing out a ton of stuff I have collected over the years, guns, rolling stock, light watercraft, old electronics, clothes, old family stuff, etc. I have begin to realize that the important stuff is things that have been in the family. A great new gun or an acquired antique muzzle loader doesn't come close to the intrinsic value of dad's old S&W snub nose which we had to turn the attic inside out to find, and mom wanted out of the house when he passed. That gun has history, almost like a patina. I realized that I had to reduce in size or buy another barn. We have two now, her big one and mine and hers which also is a garage. |
