So firing three different calibers makes it the "ultimate" survival gun??? BAHAHAHAAAA.... The rifle round from that short barrell isn't going to have the velocity or the accuracy to be effective on large game...the .410 shotgun is also basically useless on anything other than snakes...the .45 Long Colt would make a decent close range defense round..but you're still stuck using a two shot single action that's heavier than pistols that are MUCH more effective.. oh, & the calibers this novelty uses are all too heavy to lug around much ammo...so NOPE, it's definitely not any kind of "survival' pistol..
In theory, the first round ought to take care of things in a survival situation. In theory, you should never need to fire that second round. But otherwise, yeah, 45-70 is a MF even in a large heavy pistol.

I found one of these at a local pawn shop a few months ago. I called American derringer because mines a bit different. Mine has both barrels are 45-70. American derringer told me they only made a few in this configuration, which makes it quite rare. It looks the same as yours with the same grip.

I really enjoyed the video. Haven't been up in Alaska since my Army years which was 40 years ago. Been salmon fishing in chitna ak , around earthquake bay area, glacier bay, as well as mountain climbing, and hunting ( actually lost a friend & my brothers dog while hunting in the winter but found him 3-1/2 hours later when it started to get really dark in the woods. Boy was he ever greatful). Me and my brother used alot of ammo trying to indicate a lost person and allow him to track back but is difficult to do in heavy woodlands and mountainous area. Someone living on the side of the mountain blasted his stereo to help him find his way to a main road and thats how we found him & 🐕 "Cona" . Anyways the talk of Alaska brought back memories and thank you for taking the time out to make the video of this very nice craftsmanship of a gun that I'll look into buying if I can find it in Springfield, MA. Take care.
I have the M1 in 38/357. It was my back up the entire time I was on duty as a LEO in California. (Paladin style) Its a one handed gun in 38 but hold on with two in 357. For those that haven't fired one of these in a magnum or heavier, go into the kitchen, and with a flat hand slam it down onto the counter as hard as you can. That will almost duplicate shooting one of these.
My buddy had a single shot Thompson Center pistol in .30-06 with a 12" barrel, that thing was an absolute hand slapper with hotter rounds. Probably the hardest recoiling pistol I've ever shot, a .44 doesn't even come close. I shot it with one hand and earned the respect of all who witnessed it, everybody else was double fisting it🤣.

I have the American Derringer 2 1/2” 45/410 that my wife bought me for a birthday 20+ years ago. Not only does it have sentimental value but it is a superbly built handgun that is actually not bad to shoot. I keep 410 self defense round in it with a sticky pocket holster. Nobody walks through a 410 but I have to say, shooting a 45/70 would have to be a fire emergency 😂
Dick Cheney shot a guy with a shotgun shell larger than a .410 *and* from a full length barrel, the man was fine. .410 is a joke caliber for self defense. Load it with .45 Colt DPX.

This has to be the most entertaining video I’ve seen from you guys, I don’t know if I’ve watched any video when there is a Derringer involved where everything goes off as planned but thanks again for posting these excellent informative and entertaining videos and best wishes for the Big Daddy and Jason families and viewers
When I was 10 years old (about six decades ago) my dad got a single shot 12 gauge in a trade. He knew nothing about guns, but bought shells for it anyway. I begged him to let me shoot it. Instead of telling me to put the stock into my shoulder like he did (it hurt him) he told me to hold the stock under my arm and aim down the barrel. When I pulled the trigger the shotgun slid back with the hammer ripping a hunk out of the web of my hand and putting a gash below my eye! There was blood everywhere and dad rushed me to the doctor. At first the doctor thought I'd been shot with my dad screaming about a gun doing all that damage. Eventually he got the whole story and I was stitched up. Lesson: People with no experience with guns should NOT tell others how to use them!
I had a friend who came to school with a black ring around his eye, we all assumed and were scared to ask if his father had hit him or something to that effect. About a week later, literally a week later someone had the courage to ask and it turned out he'd shot a rifle way too big for him and same deal, it shot straight back under his arm and the scope stopped on his eye socket
Well, yeah, your father gave you bad advice there. From about the age of 10 the only gun I had available was a single shot 12 ga. All my buddies has .410's and 22's. I never had a problem with the recoil. I weighed abut 70 pounds, I guess. Lean into it and let it shove you back. In other words, go with the recoil and it's not a big deal. Ok, I've never tried a 45-70 derringer but I imagine it is about the same theory....get a good grip and direct the recoil up and over your head if necessary.
A good friend of mine bought one of those. He is an experienced pistolero. First shot, the gun whacked him in the middle of the forehead and and left a bloody wound. Well hell, he should have known to take it seriously.
I have a Thompson Contender with a 45-70 barrel. All I could find was Leverevolution ammo. Decide I would shoot it and reload the brass. The recoils was extreme.......to put it mildly. I changed the grips to what I "thought" would be better to control the recoil. Recoil was worse. Finally stopped above my head and gave me hammer bite. Look at a Contender some time and see how far that thing recoiled in my hand. The grip I changed out had a beavertail on it. The other one did not. Just finger grooves on the front that did NOTHING to help.
Call me crazy but I actually enjoy shooting mine. The main issue with mine is the oversized grips tend to break after 120-150 rounds of 45-70. Mine likes 300gr bullets. It will keyhole 405gr bullets after 10 yards.
I honestly don’t remember the recoiling being as bad as it was this time. We were shooting hornady Lever revolution 250 gr. They might be a little too hot for the pistol. That said, if you enjoy shooting yours, you are the man.
The idea behind the 45/70 is to stick in the bear’s ribs when he’s on top of you. No aiming required and it’ll get old bear off you. The other rounds have their own uses.
I feel like a beaver-tail on that grip would help enormously. And definitely a full-size grip if you ever expect people to use 45-70. This concept could be modernized so easily.
Yes but the first guy casually gripped the gun he didn't take a brazing stance and didn't have a really strong a grip on it he didn't take a moment to take a bracing stance he just fired it within a second or two of grasping the gun no wonder it bit him like that he has no business firing a gun that powerful SMH
They obviously made the ultimate derringer…I can see enthusiast’s buying it just to say they got one ….I’d say it’s the knarlyist derringer ever made !
Okay, for one, the .45-70 should be the first one to go off as a last ditch against a bear attack. The .45 Colt should be 2nd and for yourself if the rifle round doesn't kill the bear.
Honestly, if you think your gonna hit a charging bear with that hand cannon I’m impressed. However naive it may be, but it’s an impressive thought. I would imagine that gun would be relied on in a very hairy situation and you don’t want to expend that 45/70 until the bear is close enough to kill you.... Good luck placing that one ☝️ shot on target at any distance.
My go to truck/beater gun is a bubba'd post-war No.4 Enfield sporter with a 20" barrel. I also have a .45-70 Siamese Mauser that I regularly hunt moose with as it can digest hot thumper loads with ease
I had a guy bring me one of these to work on one time, had the original pistol grip rather than that S&W grips you have. It had a terrible trigger pull, I'm guessing close to 20lbs because it was bending my tester arm so I stopped. I brought it down to just under 8 lbs, but didn't want to go any lower than that due to no trigger guard. I was scared testing with .45LC and 410's and thought it's not that bad. I'm glad I didn't do the 45-70 LOL.
Many years ago my brother had a 45 ACP subcompact that I shot once and by once I mean one round. That was all it took to convince me that big rounds in tiny pistols was a fool's choice. It didn't help that the grips were sharply checkered walnut but the biggest problem is they ended in the middle of my palm. You could barely get two fingers on it. I couldn't even imagine what the 45-70 felt like. 😳
Yeah I have a light S&M revolver that shoots 38s and I call it the fast ball. It's like catching a fast ball after you fire it. I have a S&M 357 and it has the weight so doesn't hurt to shoot it.
@@johnnyboy4654 The manufacturer and even model matter. I’ve had and have small packages that handle well and some that act like ornery children. The package matters far more than the caliber
I think if you shoot the 45/70 barrel with light loaded rounds, it's probably a lot more mild. A 300 grain lead bullet with a trap-door level pressure load won't kick like that fairly hot hunting round made for the lever gun.
i have to agree. i imagine the load is more suited for rifle. can say the rifle packs a decent kick. first time i time i shot one it bout knock me on my ass.
Bond Arms offers the Cyclops. Single shot in 45-70. Future releases will also be in 44 Mag, 454 Casull and 50 AE. Can't find them yet...been looking since they were announced at Shot Show.
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! I've had a Bond Arms for awhile, .45/.410. It's a shooter, but man is it heavy! With 3 1/2 inch barrels mine is a 1 1/2 pounds loaded. I don't know about y'all but that's to heavy for everyday carry. So, it stays in my boat. It does a number on snakes and such. They are built like a tank literally.
I bet the velocity leaves a lot to be desired with a cartridge loaded for 20+" barrels. Someone should develop handloads with pistol powder for the sudden surge of .45-70 handguns.
No doubt, 45-70 is tough enough from an 1886, shoulder bruises every time. Took me years to find a butt-pad solution but it still hurts like a first wife!
That’s pretty cool about the 45-70! I have a Public Defender that I plink around with using .45LC and .410 shells once every few years (not my favorite gun), but it definitely wouldn’t handle the 45-70 haha.
Knowing how 410 recoils in a Derringer like that, the visual difference between 410 and 45-70 recoil in the video tells me I don't want to try 45-70. My tip for firing smaller high recoil handguns is to wear fingerless work gloves at the range it saves a lot of pain. I'd be interested to know what the velocity of the 45-70 is out of such a short barrel, it seems there might be a lot of blast and recoil for not much energy in the bullet that leaves the barrel.
I have one in 45/410 both barrels, the grip is rounded and much shorter. It's a cool concept and fun to shoot, although as an actual survival tool, it's not terribly practical, it's pretty much impossible to hit anything at any range but very close.
I need one of These to go along with my 45-70 BFR. 45-70 is perfect for the reloaded due to load options. So much volume in the cartridge one can load any thing from. 600 grain hard cast to bird shot and everything in between. Lighter load does not have to be a bruiser. Or load a 200 grain double. 00 shot. Down side is this is a very heavy little gun.
Wow such a compact powerful little pistol, would love to have such cool toys here in the UK, is big daddy really farther Christmas LOL all the best and have a great Christmas 🎄 to you guys glad to see your back
Nice set up, very nice 👍. That would be my version of a man cave lol. Ya that don't seem like it would be very comfortable to shoot but the recoil did not look that bad surprisingly you handled it very well. Wishing you and your family a safe and happy holidays ;)
It's too bad you didn't get into more detail about the mechanics of this gun. How does it handle different calibers and lengths of rounds? Are the top and bottom chambers different diameters? Is one chamber threaded and the other not? Or are both chambers the same? Would've liked to see that explained.
Today: "YOU NEED A DEPENDABLE AND EFFECTIVE GUN ON YOUR PERSON!" However, this "Derringer" is huge for a "Derringer". I'd get anything Dependable and Effective but with MORE ROUNDS! WHY LIMIT YOURSELF?! Beautiful and fun gun but not my first choice for Survival! I like a .500 S&W! I don't look forward to becoming Bear-Poop! LOL
Bloody wristkiller, i just saw the grips and that smelled to big recoil. Unbelievable strong build of this tiny gun. I would not have the balls to shoot that monster.
If you’re looking for something like this, I think that Bond Arms is a better derringer for the money. They are tanks that are well built and the barrels on the Bond Arms can be changed out to a variety of other barrels/calibers. I have one and love it. I specifically bought mine as a pocket carry for when I’m walking my dogs in the woods near my house.
I have the S&W survival kit, comes with a M360, shoots 38 special and 357 magnum. The 357 really turns it into a hand cannon, 5 shots. Small, light and consealable.
❤ cool the best shf your so good for survivalI u can use 3 types . I like side by side Double barrel coach 12g I love with all the in Insert tubes you can buy & put in your shot gun on brake barrel drop you in a tube so many in 22 38 9 10 mm 223 45 454 45.70 good old 357 44 cal you name it put in your Break barrel shot gun shoot it all all the rounds . That gun is totally cool and drop in your pocket on a deep woods camp hunt to anything your going . Great 👍 video as always .
I'm surprised that it can generate that much pressure/recoil in such a short distance. I'd have expected either a big fireball or a big puff of unburned powder. I guess it was JUST enough.
My dad and I used to shoot his original 47-70 Springfield trap door. I remember after 20 rounds even from that ole trap door with no padding on the butt end just the steel that wrapped around the wood. I would come home with big red welts on my right shoulder. The only other gun from that period with a huge kick for a rifle was dads 50-70 sharps carbine. I think I need one of these 45-70 survivors models. Does anyone have any info on pricing, do they still make them. I’m in GA. Should be pretty easy to find.
This Gun is a beauty! The author - the happiest person - can openly do what he loves. We, in our "free" Russia, can only watch these videos on UA-cam and quietly envy...😁
A light "hand cannon", could also be called a "large wrist breaker" and a "small wrist removal device". That is very impressive and scary to shoot, again, for the wrist damage risk. Awesome. You're brave men to try it. 💚
I fired a .308 single-shot pistol. The recoil wasn't a big deal. To be fair, the bullet had left the barrel long before the propellent was finished. Rather than a sharp recoil it felt like a steady rearward shove.

The idea behind the 45/70 is to stick in the bear’s ribs when he’s on top of you. No aiming required and it’ll get old bear off you. The other rounds have their own uses.
Except when it dies it will slump its 1100 pounds of weight on you. But at least you won't get mauled.
@@stephenbachman132 if i wanted 1100 pounds on me id tell my wife to get on top

Stephen Bachman you will stay warm a while
I feel like a beaver-tail on that grip would help enormously. And definitely a full-size grip if you ever expect people to use 45-70. This concept could be modernized so easily.
Yes but the first guy casually gripped the gun he didn't take a brazing stance and didn't have a really strong a grip on it he didn't take a moment to take a bracing stance he just fired it within a second or two of grasping the gun no wonder it bit him like that he has no business firing a gun that powerful SMH
Watching that gun kick back like that.....i can't stop laughing. Omg WHY? That is just insane. Priceless...
They obviously made the ultimate derringer…I can see enthusiast’s buying it just to say they got one ….I’d say it’s the knarlyist derringer ever made !
If you were that scared to shoot it just imagine what it's like to be on the other end of it 😳
Ouch...
Um... I dont think any imagining would be going on dude. One min here, next min gone!
@@rustybaws5313 wdym min they're gone in seconds 😔
Crazy that your words are so true but you're talking about such a small gun. This is the real life Noisy Cricket from MIB!
you probably can’t hit nothing with it unless it’s really close ramge
If American Derringer would chamber the M8 Target in .327 Federal Magnum, it would be ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
Love that old timer. He's a legend of a man. Greetings from Ireland, my American friends
All you have to do is buy a Bond Arms made right here in Texas. Very high quality, awesome price and does way and above what you expect
why did you grind off the bayonet lug?
Welcome back, Big Daddy. That's quite the hand cannon. Pretty handy if you have killer dinosaurs on the loose.
Okay, for one, the .45-70 should be the first one to go off as a last ditch against a bear attack. The .45 Colt should be 2nd and for yourself if the rifle round doesn't kill the bear.
Most underrated
Honestly, if you think your gonna hit a charging bear with that hand cannon I’m impressed. However naive it may be, but it’s an impressive thought.
I would imagine that gun would be relied on in a very hairy situation and you don’t want to expend that 45/70 until the bear is close enough to kill you.... Good luck placing that one ☝️ shot on target at any distance.
@@helloshklosh4111 that's the intended purpose of this pistol, that is literally why it exists. To be a last ditch against a bear or moose attack.
Both barrels should be 45-70
thats wise advice. well done
That thing is totally bananas!! And thats being on the "friendly" end
It's like a Derringer, but this can actually do real damage!
Looks like fun.
The handle on that is GORGEOUS! They should sell it with that on there.
Nice pistol ya got there Big Daddy! I’ve emptied a mountain of 45 70,90 and 110! I love the big ones! Tell that youngster to grow a pair!
My go to truck/beater gun is a bubba'd post-war No.4 Enfield sporter with a 20" barrel.
I also have a .45-70 Siamese Mauser that I regularly hunt moose with as it can digest hot thumper loads with ease
Siamese Mauser is my grail 45-70
I waited for the 6:30 mark my whole life. Wisdom and experience aint got a thing on humor
I always wanted to see a flaregun that could fire real shells. This is apparently the gun of my dreams
Yikes,scary recoil. The beard looks great!
Dude where have you been? More videos please! Awesome!
I had a guy bring me one of these to work on one time, had the original pistol grip rather than that S&W grips you have. It had a terrible trigger pull, I'm guessing close to 20lbs because it was bending my tester arm so I stopped. I brought it down to just under 8 lbs, but didn't want to go any lower than that due to no trigger guard. I was scared testing with .45LC and 410's and thought it's not that bad. I'm glad I didn't do the 45-70 LOL.
Great video.
Thank you for sharing.
I can imagine Wild Bill Hickock or Buffalo Bill Cody with such a weapon.
That little biter evil. I love it. I never seen it coming. It’s so powerful
I've shot a .45-70 pistol before.
I didn't believe this was real. Good job.
I want one!
Many years ago my brother had a 45 ACP subcompact that I shot once and by once I mean one round. That was all it took to convince me that big rounds in tiny pistols was a fool's choice. It didn't help that the grips were sharply checkered walnut but the biggest problem is they ended in the middle of my palm. You could barely get two fingers on it. I couldn't even imagine what the 45-70 felt like. 😳
Yeah I have a light S&M revolver that shoots 38s and I call it the fast ball. It's like catching a fast ball after you fire it. I have a S&M 357 and it has the weight so doesn't hurt to shoot it.
If 38 hurts your hand you’re just a puss I shot a 38 snub nose revolver for years and it never hurt my hand
@@johnnyboy4654 wow - Thanks for letting us know your a real man. I guess that's what is important to you.
You're grip was wrong.
@@johnnyboy4654 The manufacturer and even model matter. I’ve had and have small packages that handle well and some that act like ornery children. The package matters far more than the caliber
I think if you shoot the 45/70 barrel with light loaded rounds, it's probably a lot more mild. A 300 grain lead bullet with a trap-door level pressure load won't kick like that fairly hot hunting round made for the lever gun.
I agree. This was our first time shooting the Lever Revolution in it. There was a significant difference in felt recoil.
@@bigdaddyhoffman1911 get some Underwood extreme penetrators
i have to agree. i imagine the load is more suited for rifle. can say the rifle packs a decent kick. first time i time i shot one it bout knock me on my ass.
Bond Arms offers the Cyclops. Single shot in 45-70. Future releases will also be in 44 Mag, 454 Casull and 50 AE. Can't find them yet...been looking since they were announced at Shot Show.
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! I've had a Bond Arms for awhile, .45/.410. It's a shooter, but man is it heavy! With 3 1/2 inch barrels mine is a 1 1/2 pounds loaded. I don't know about y'all but that's to heavy for everyday carry. So, it stays in my boat. It does a number on snakes and such. They are built like a tank literally.
Looks alot like the Bond Arms Derringers. I dig their 45colt/410 version. Also the 45acp version and interchangeable barrels is cool.
Bond Arms should be your choice.
Good thing the 45-70 didn't have enough barrel to get ALL of the kick from the powder.
45-120 is interesting in a 32" barrel gun. ;)
I remember when you first took this hell beast out to the range, and I think Jr took this out for a ride at one point too. Sweet 45-70 Pie 😁👍🏽
6:29
I love tht old man. So much enjoyment and happiness. Nothing like these guys nowadays who complain all the time. 😂
Beautiful gun.
Oh those golden years when you could expect to find the ammo to just go shooting!
The 410 and . 45 would be ok but 45-70 is insane
I want one ☝️.
I bet the velocity leaves a lot to be desired with a cartridge loaded for 20+" barrels. Someone should develop handloads with pistol powder for the sudden surge of .45-70 handguns.
"That wasn't that bad honestly!"
*Top 10 quotes before death*
😮😮😮 DAMN THAT THING IS A BEAST !!
I believe he got top and bottom mixed up but that's ok.Awesome little pistol and always awesome to see a new video from BDH1911.
The barrel that's closest to the hinge is the upper barrel so he had it right.
I feel like the ultimate survival pistol would hold more than two rounds.
No doubt, 45-70 is tough enough from an 1886, shoulder bruises every time. Took me years to find a butt-pad solution but it still hurts like a first wife!
Yeah I'm still sore!
From the first wife, I mean.
@Ian Pearce unfortunately you can't buy a buttpad for your first wife. I mean, technically, you can, but it probably just makes it worse
@@felixholzhey5026 She was enough of a butt pad for the two of us. 😅
Mine doesn’t have much kick it seems.
I can only imagine the perfect skill it takes to produce something that unique and beautiful. A great video.
Thank you very much!
Where can I buy one
I like the 45 70 very powerful round Nice
That’s pretty cool about the 45-70! I have a Public Defender that I plink around with using .45LC and .410 shells once every few years (not my favorite gun), but it definitely wouldn’t handle the 45-70 haha.
I have one too.... Im curious if it could chamber it?
Knowing how 410 recoils in a Derringer like that, the visual difference between 410 and 45-70 recoil in the video tells me I don't want to try 45-70. My tip for firing smaller high recoil handguns is to wear fingerless work gloves at the range it saves a lot of pain. I'd be interested to know what the velocity of the 45-70 is out of such a short barrel, it seems there might be a lot of blast and recoil for not much energy in the bullet that leaves the barrel.
I have one in 45/410 both barrels, the grip is rounded and much shorter. It's a cool concept and fun to shoot, although as an actual survival tool, it's not terribly practical, it's pretty much impossible to hit anything at any range but very close.
Kinda the point with a Derringer.
👍👍👍
Fun to shoot, you say
@@noisepuppet yeah, lots of fun, not for the limp of wrist or tender of hand, but I enjoy it.
I've shot two of them in my life. Both in .38 special. The trigger leaves ALOT to be desired!
I need one of These to go along with my 45-70 BFR. 45-70 is perfect for the reloaded due to load options. So much volume in the cartridge one can load any thing from. 600 grain hard cast to bird shot and everything in between. Lighter load does not have to be a bruiser. Or load a 200 grain double. 00 shot. Down side is this is a very heavy little gun.
Hand cannon? More like a pocket cannon. Hand cannons are the BFR series.
Wow such a compact powerful little pistol, would love to have such cool toys here in the UK, is big daddy really farther Christmas LOL all the best and have a great Christmas 🎄 to you guys glad to see your back
Yeah it's a bummer that our pistols have to be so large.
At least you can still have butter knives!! oh, wait.
Nice set up, very nice 👍. That would be my version of a man cave lol. Ya that don't seem like it would be very comfortable to shoot but the recoil did not look that bad surprisingly you handled it very well. Wishing you and your family a safe and happy holidays ;)
It's too bad you didn't get into more detail about the mechanics of this gun. How does it handle different calibers and lengths of rounds? Are the top and bottom chambers different diameters? Is one chamber threaded and the other not? Or are both chambers the same? Would've liked to see that explained.
Today:
"YOU NEED A DEPENDABLE AND EFFECTIVE GUN ON YOUR PERSON!"
However, this "Derringer" is huge for a "Derringer".
I'd get anything Dependable and Effective but with MORE ROUNDS!
WHY LIMIT YOURSELF?!
Beautiful and fun gun but not my first choice for Survival! I like a .500 S&W! I don't look forward to becoming Bear-Poop! LOL
Bloody wristkiller, i just saw the grips and that smelled to big recoil. Unbelievable strong build of this tiny gun. I would not have the balls to shoot that monster.
this is brilliant, a rifle concealable in your wrists. i'd love to conceal carry that if i could get to a point where i can control my adrenaline
Use the bottom chamber for the hard kicking round
There may be a little less felt recoil if the more powerful rounds were shot from the lower breach
I would agree, lower bore axes. Less felt recoil. Under rated comment.
Watch again he did from the get go. B A LWINED!!!
I think the 45-70 rounds can only be shot from the top barrel and the .45c/.410 can only be shot in the bottom on these.
If you’re looking for something like this, I think that Bond Arms is a better derringer for the money. They are tanks that are well built and the barrels on the Bond Arms can be changed out to a variety of other barrels/calibers. I have one and love it. I specifically bought mine as a pocket carry for when I’m walking my dogs in the woods near my house.
They don't make one in 45-70 tho 🤔
This old man is the coolest man on the planet! 🌍
I love when he says, "quit whining & load that bad boy back up again!" 😁
Yeah Buddy!
It makes my holidays to see you both! Merry Christmas stay safe and healthy see you next year BIG DADDY!
Thanks for the wonderful comment my friend. Happy New Year!!!
I have the S&W survival kit, comes with a M360, shoots 38 special and 357 magnum. The 357 really turns it into a hand cannon, 5 shots. Small, light and consealable.
I wish I could see a chronograph reading of the .45-70.
Out of that short of barrel I bet losing 600fps. Or more
@@t-bfr45-70 …the hand disagrees..lol
Two coolest sounds in the world, a zippo opening and a derringer closing
❤ cool the best shf your so good for survivalI u can use 3 types . I like side by side Double barrel coach 12g I love with all the in Insert tubes you can buy & put in your shot gun on brake barrel drop you in a tube so many in 22 38 9 10 mm 223 45 454 45.70 good old 357 44 cal you name it put in your Break barrel shot gun shoot it all all the rounds . That gun is totally cool and drop in your pocket on a deep woods camp hunt to anything your going . Great 👍 video as always .
Wonder how much velocity you're getting out of such a short barrel and how much unburned powder you're peppering your target with.
Large charges of slow burning powder...🧐. Probably incredibly inefficient.
If you use the black powder loads, you get an evasion smoke screen, and a flamethrower as a bonus.
I'm surprised that it can generate that much pressure/recoil in such a short distance. I'd have expected either a big fireball or a big puff of unburned powder.
I guess it was JUST enough.
My dad and I used to shoot his original 47-70 Springfield trap door. I remember after 20 rounds even from that ole trap door with no padding on the butt end just the steel that wrapped around the wood. I would come home with big red welts on my right shoulder. The only other gun from that period with a huge kick for a rifle was dads 50-70 sharps carbine. I think I need one of these 45-70 survivors models. Does anyone have any info on pricing, do they still make them. I’m in GA. Should be pretty easy to find.
Last I checked it was under $700. There is a 5” barrel or a 7” if I’m not mistaken.
This Gun is a beauty! The author - the happiest person - can openly do what he loves. We, in our "free" Russia, can only watch these videos on UA-cam and quietly envy...😁
One of the best gun review clips out there👏🏽👏🏽😂😂
That’s impressive for sure. I’d probably have to try it out just for fun… or maybe NOT! Hahaha!!! Great to see you guys.
A light "hand cannon", could also be called a "large wrist breaker" and a "small wrist removal device".
That is very impressive and scary to shoot, again, for the wrist damage risk.
Awesome.
You're brave men to try it. 💚
Would be very quick tennis elbow
Thanks for the comment Sir..
@@bigdaddyhoffman1911 You are very welcome
I can only imagine how much kick that has with either round. Enough that it probably isn’t that great beyond 25 yards if that.
I fired a .308 single-shot pistol. The recoil wasn't a big deal. To be fair, the bullet had left the barrel long before the propellent was finished. Rather than a sharp recoil it felt like a steady rearward shove.
I have an American Derringer chambered for 45 long Colt and 410, I love it.
