Very nice!! My dad used to carry a little boot gun.... 22 long with pearl handles.. it is still around here in his safe. Saw him pull it in a bar fight one night many years ago.... never fight with a sawed off runt (dad).. they fight dirty.
Yea man!!! My Grand Dad was a Sawed Off Fire Plug as well, he always packed a full size 1911, but had a .45 colt boot gun just in case! My Brother got it when Gramps passed! Sweet little Darringer.
Very popular with certain people who used them for various things. Called a muff pistol because women (and men) carried them in muffs (hand warmers) for protection. Get a hole punched in your guts and you were SOL back in the day.
I had one exactly like that , could't hit a paper plate at 10 feet. Strictly a belly buster. got rid of it .
Happy president day. Turns out if you want a 41cal Derringer you pretty much have to make it. So 45 is close enough.
