Would even fit in the san fransicko boys' purses! Regards, JS **** that. This is a much better weapon. http://www.ruger.com/products/sp101/index.html Five shots, better reload time, much more accurate. Leave it to Johnny Kook to pick a POS like a Bond Arms 2 shot. Dozens of better guns out there. Depends on what you're after. On a shot per shot basis, the .410 is going to deliver more to target. effectively ten 30 caliber pellets to target in the time it takes to pull the trigger twice. A .410 handgun round contains 8 or 9 pellets if it is a #4 shot. That's about right, the problem is you lose space because the pellets are staggered. Thus a lot of the shell capacity is empty air. It contains 3 pellets if it is 000 which is approximately .36 caliber. Maybe a few brands, but if you look around even in 2.5" you can get 4 pellets. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...ctNumber=53316 6 and in 3" (which I believe I mentioned somewhere) you get 5 pellets. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=170759 and .36 matches up nicely with the .357 caliber of the .38 and .357. A 12ga shoots about 9 pellets in 00. Again, with the 12, you lose capacity because the pellets are staggered. In the .410 they are neatly lined up, making maximum use of the available space. Use a buffered shot and you will get a nice tight group at close ranges. Whereas the Ruger is going to take 5 trigger pulls, a reload, and than another 5 trigger pulls. Nope. Go back and revisit the .410 load fired by a Judge. Are you talking the regular Judge or the 3" Judge? Both seem to contain the same number of pellets in 000. The difference is in the powder charge, apparently. Check the links given. You can get 5 pellets in a 3" shell, and 4 in a 2.5" shell. See yesterday's statement further down. One gives you 4 pellets of triple aught, the other gives you 5. Not per wiki. Midway sells them. Maybe wiki is wrong? There, corrected it for you. 2.5" shell holds 4, not 3 per http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct...tNumber=533166 The Bondarm's Century 2000 derringer, the gun under discussion, accepts up to a 3" .410 shell. Hence the 5 pellets discussed. Perhaps of 00.......but the heavy load mentioned was 000. Yep, and as cited above in a 3" shell even according to wiki it's 5 pellets of 000 Not nine as originally stated. That was the reason I mentioned 12ga. Of course, you could also load in a .410 with 5 pellets of 0000 buck (0.375). Of course, you're probably going to need to mail order those, and I think only a few manufacturers even make them. :-) That's not to say that one is a better gun than the other, but as in so much it depends on what you're looking for it to do. Also the .410 loading is generally reported to have a fairly high 1 shot stop percentage, since you are usually effectively hitting the target multiple times in 1 shot. Three, if all impact and you are shooting 000 buck. Actually even if more than 1 hit, you will still be hitting the target multiple times. :-) Same with two trigger pulls on an SP-101. Yea, but 2 trigger pulls take longer than 1. Yes, but not as long as one trigger pull, a search for the damn gun...and another trigger pull.....if one is up to it. Those derringers have a very nasty recoil and not much to hang on to. However, if that's the case, odds are you didn't hit much of consequence unless you're talking the head. Both at close range would be effective to center mass....the edge going to the .410. Simply my point, the .410 derringer isn't automatically unsuitable as Dudu asserted. You still pay attention to his claims? You need to fire both barrels in a Bond 2 shot to equal the number of rounds in an SP-101. Uh, an SP-101 in .38/.357 only holds 5 rounds. That's equal to the number of pellets of triple or quad aught buck in a 3" shell. Again, not per wiki on the .410 shotshell. Anyway, I have three SP-101s (as you can tell, I hate them), two in .357 and one in .327Federal. The latter holds six rounds. True, but Dudu cited the .38/.357 Again, my comments weren't intended to address all the possible combinations, only to challenge Dudu's immediate dismissal of the derringer and the assertion that the SP101 would be drastically better for self defense. See above statement on Dudu's veracity.... So you would have to fire until empty, reload, and then empty again, your SP101 to get an equal number of lead pieces headed downrange to match those produced by 2 pulls of the Bond's trigger. :-) Not going to argue with you. You can see what wiki says as well as I can. Yep, and in this case it was wrong. Which is why I provided the cites above for you. Fair enough.......I have, as mentioned, three of the SP-101s and none of the derringers.....although a friend of mine has about 10 of them. He isn't thrilled about shooting them either. Based on reports and testing, the rounds that produce the best one shot stops are those that produce a nice hydrostatic shock wave in the blood pressure that effectively shuts down the brain for a period of time. Now that's not to say they are going to stay down, only that they are going to drop on the first shot and stay down for a bit. Shotguns do this quite effectively since they tend to dump a large part of their energy to a broad section of the body inducing such a hydrostatic shock. This, of course, depends upon a reasonably direct impact to center mass. So it all depends on your preferences, choices, and so on. This is true. My biggest objection would be the weight of the piece which IMO makes it less of a carry piece. On the other hand it's flat which again IMO makes it easier to conceal than a revolver. True with the Bond derringer, not so with a Taurus Judge or the S&W. Well, I wasn't intending this to be an in-depth review of all the variations, only contesting Dudu's immediate and apparently arbitrary dismissal of the Century 2000 as being unsuitable for self defense, and challenging each of his talking points to establish that. Dudu tends to run off half cocked over anything you say or suggest so I don't pay much attention to him on those points. What got me going was mention of the SP-101. It is one of the things he and I agree on. It is an excellent gun. It is, and I'm not challenging that. I'm simply challenging his dismissal of the derringer as something far worse. About the only point that was really valid was the accuracy issue, but at self defense ranges a gun doesn't need to be particularly accurate hence my noting it as pretty much a moot point. Fair enough. I thought so. :-) -- Sleep well tonight, RD (The Sandman) WINE - Does not make you FAT....it makes you LEAN.... ...against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people... |
