Reliability, manufacture, safety... ? If positive, i want one!
The cost of this firearm is high because there are so few in circulation.
It is a specialty item.
Usually, derringers are expensive.. for example, American Derringer makes some of the finest, safest derringers, and yes, the customers pay the price for the reliability, manufacture, and safety.
CONSIDERATIONS:
1- RELIABILITY- the design seems simple enough, so if it goes BANG every time, it is worth it as a self defense firearm
2- MANUFACTURE- if the gun needs repair, does the company honor a warranty? Are there enough parts so that if it needs replacements, will you be able to get them?
3- SAFETY- Do the pins rest on the rounds? If it is dropped, does it fire? That is always a derringer consideration (NAA and American Derringer have taken careful mechanical considerations with respect to safety)
4- IF the companY AND FIREARM ARE DEPENDABLE, then the gun is worth the money to a buyer who needs a reliable BUG or even primary SD piece...
I just may get one if reviews are good. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!
