Great get Coach. They really do make great looking Derringers.

That Spyderco looks more at home now.

Eric, I was wonderin' if you would recognize it.

Wow, that 6" looks boss! Is the long barrel the .410?

Pap

Pap,

Gotta zoom in on that barrel "The Texan" Think Twice Before You Mess With Texas 45 Colt/ 3 Inch 410
You need all 6 inches for that one, LOL

Thanks Pap. Yep, that’s the .410.

Like I said earlier, if you miss, you could beat somebody to death with the barrel.

I got out & shot mine today.

The .45 Colt is more than the .357 considerably!

The .410 (3" Magnums) will reach out a lot further than I thought. 50-60 feet. I might be able to squirrel hunt with it.

Coach,
I would be interested to see how you do on a squirrel hut with that!!!

By any chance,did you pattern it at 50 feet???

Hey Wayne,
I’ll see what I can do. I’ll get some poster board and do it right.

I shot the .410 (3” mag, #6 shot) at a cedar tree about 50 feet away. It looked like it patterned at about 24” or so.

I was surprised at the disturbance it made on the tree.

Coach,
The 3 in mag load sounds quite potent. The pattern at 50 feet seems to be good for squirrels. Of course,closer would even be better.

East Texas? Anywhere near Granbury,where the Bonds are made???

Seems that you have your fair share of rattlesnakes in TX.

It is bad enough when I quail hunt in south GA I seem to have my eyes more on the ground looking for buzzworms instead of quail!!!!

Wayne

FWIW, Granbury isn't considered "East Texas" by anyone in TX since it is SW of DFW.

Lake Fork (the actual lake) is due east of Dallas, roughly half way between Dallas and Louisiana. Known for some superb bass fishing.
