Title: 4 barreled derringers
Post by: Moonclip on October 24, 2008, 03:12:49 PM
Anyone have one or want one?  The Mossberg Brownie and COP derriger were two on this pattern.

I have an EIG Italian version chambered for standard velocity .22lr, it does not extract well though >:(

Interesting piece though.

No camera, if you come to another event I am present at, I will bring it.

I just got gifted some sort of camera though, lets see if I can get it going.

I've got a Mossberg brownie.... its a neat design...

you can actually make a modified firing pin that sets off two barrels at a time or all four barrels at once... (although I think strictly speaking that might qualify as a machine gun....)

didn't stop people from doing it back in the 20's when these were originally made.

its the only handgun mossberg ever made.... but it is what started them as a company.

I'd do the modified firing pin bit for fun if legal.  I wonder how it would pattern?

Wouldn't matter at contact ranges... the brownie is a belly gun.

That's odd, I thought I saw a 4 barrel derringer at a local LGS Wednesday but didn't think it was a COP - maybe it was a Brownie.
What's the normal price range for one?
