Just simply love the derringer. Use it when I am bus hogging to exterminate big field rats or occasional cotton mouths. Mainly use Winchester 3″ 6 shot. I find this works well. The .45 long colts are also fun to shoot, and with a mix of .45 and 3″ buckshot you have a great self defense weapon. I have a .45 cap barrel ordered and can’t wait to try it out. Solid craftsmanship and a beautiful derringer thats a sure keeper.
