HEIZER DOUBLE TAP: SAFETY / where do the pins rest??

[Biff Tannen]

This is a very specific question.
With non-revolver, non mag-load derringers, when a pin rests on a round, a shock to the firearm (such as dropping on cement or similar trauma) might result in a misfire.
Derringer manufacturers have created many systems to minimize these misfires (pin blocks, etc.).
Currently, the Heizer website expresses nothing on this subject.
And so, I send the call to my fellow enthusiasts...
On the Heizer Double Tab, where do the pins rest, and what safety systems have they devised to avoid misfires?

Hard to say as the gun won't be out to wholesalers according to Raymond Kohout for another 4 to 6 weeks yet.
I have seen a blow up diagram some where on the web. Cant find it now.

Hey guys, any info???

No idea, but I am subscribing to the thread. The double tap MSRP is more than I would pay for it but MSRP has so little to do with actual prices.

My feeling is, if this little derringer is all its cracked up to be, and the safety features are up to par, it makes all my other derringers obsolete. And so, Id sell them all and buy one.
But the jury is still out!

Any info, guys???

Fora carry gun I agree it makes other derringers obsolete. My problem is I believe the J-Frames, then Kahrs, then LCP all made them obsolete for carry years ago. For range use or display I think the Heizer is at best something I would rent from my local range to try. I can't believe it is at all comfortable to shoot.

If you don't agree that the very small difference in size and weight is worth 2-3 times as many shots, then the Heizer is perfection though.
