Double Tap

I just came across a series of videos on a new pistol. A two-barreled derringer available in .45 or 9MM, and about the size of a cell phone.

Thoughts?

Actually, she has a strong resemblance to a co-worker, except for the silicone....

Surprisingly these shoot really well got a chance to place with one when the show was coming to a close. My father is a custom gunsmith and also rents tools to other gunsmiths and we go to the shot show every year if you never have gone before go it is awesome it is the SEMA show of guns.

Does nobody pay attention to safe gun handling any more?

I wouldn't want to be standing anywhere near that salesman.

Anymore as long as they are on the tv or computer and not near me I don't care I figure if they aren't smart enough to watch out for themselves well it deepens the gene pool a little

Jason -- I'd had the exact same thought. Glad to see that there are still a few of us out there that have an understanding of safe gun handling.

Several years ago a friend and I went to the local outdoor range to shoot a few targets. When we got there, the left half of the range (pistol / small bore) was full with a class that was teaching pistol handling/shooting to women, and the right half (100 yard) was full with guys sighting in weapons for the upcoming hunting season.

Anyway, the women's side was a fiasco. Completely unsupervised as the instructor (wearing a state wildlife officer uniform) was distracted as he offered one-on-one instruction to one woman while the rest fired randomly. The range is grass, with concrete sidewalks at each standard target distance. Two of the women were having trouble hitting the target and decided that they needed to shoot at something "closer". There was a (presumably empty) .410 shotgun shell box sitting on the closest crossing sidewalk so the started blasting at it, though mostly missing and ricocheting rounds off the sidewalk. I went to the instructor to tell him that he really needed to get control of this situation. He replied that "it's OK. That's what this class is for" and went back to tutoring Ms. Special Attention.

My friend and I left and I've never been back to that range.
