Are Double Barrels More Fun?

Are you talking personal defense, or home security? If you're talking personal defense, it's sheer size isn't very intimidating and it's short barrel although makes it perfect for concealment won't aid in accuracy which is a definite necessity when you've only got two rounds.

For home security, it's an absolute joke. I'm all for accurate shooting, but at the same time, I prefer being able to drop an intruder. I hope if you don't already have one, that you pick up a nice 12 ga with some 00 buck and a short barrel. The racking of the round is enough to scare the crap out of someone.

All in all, it's a nice little novelty and looks to be well made. I like the old card player, maverick look.

I have just about every pistol caliber from a .22 to a .480 Ruger. When I built my house I built an 8'x 6' gun room that is surrounded by solid concrete and steel door with a combination. So you could say that home defense is not an issue. :thumblef: As far as CC goes, people stop carrying them, because of comfort and size of the pistol and I have to admit that I am kind of the same way. You yourself should know that most altercations happen within 5'. If two shots of .45 Colt in the right hands won't put someone down then there is no personal defense.

I archery hunt big game every year and have hunted in many of the western states in wilderness areas. I have ran across quite a few mountain lions and bears over the years. I get sick of carrying my M&P, because of the extra weight. When packing in by yourself for days at a tome and hunting above 10,000' what you carry comes down to ounces, so the Bond Arms Derringer should fit the bill. A bear or mountain lion in most cases are on top of you before you know it, so accuracy is out the window.
