Small gun, the serious protection you need ...

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...roductNumber=5 3316 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? One gives you 4 pellets of triple aught, the other gives you 5. The Bondarm's Century 2000 derringer, the gun under discussion, accepts up to a 3" .410 shell. Hence the 5 pellets discussed. 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. :-) However, if that's the case, odds are you didn't hit much of consequence unless you're talking the head. 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. 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. :-) 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. 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. Honestly, after several years of looking at derringers and some of the absurd calibers they come in, I find it hard to fault the choice of any lightweight J frame. The more serious calibers are often as wide and nearly as long and always weigh more. Mine hides very well and while reloading isn't really an issue at close range (IMO) reloading a derringer can be a PITA. I bought some Speed Strips and I can carry the J-Frame and 2 Speed strips very comfortably. I really only would carry it if the 908 or G-19 was impractical for some reason, though. Different strokes for different folks. Doesn't mean a derringer in .410 is the automatically bad choice Dudu tried to assert. You have your preferences, I have mine, Dudu has his, and John has his. But a .410 is a proven performer. Undoubtedly, I have merely stated my preference. Dogmatism amongst gun owners is amusing and frequently annoying. Especially when paired with innaccurate information. 8) Which I think is the point I'm trying to make. We all have preferences, and just because John has one preference and Dudu another, doesn't justify his assertion that this derringer isn't suitable. Well, would you truly expect Doodoo to be rational or even courteous about anything? A very valid point, I will grant you. I assume you guys have noticed that he has deserted the thread. He usually does when he getting bitch slapped hard enough. |
