S&W Mod 637 and a COP .357. Swapped my P10 for them since I had no luck selling it. I suspect that the other guy may have gotten the better end of the deal in strictly monetary terms... but I've always wanted a COP, so I think we both did OK. He gets another .45, I get the gun I've always wanted.

Closer view of the COP - yes, it's a 4 shot Derringer.

Now you have to go try them out! [lol]

dwarven1 · Aug 31, 2005

Well... I did. I met Howie up at the Tyngsboro gun club on Sunday and we tried out each other's guns to see if we wanted to do the trade. Boy, that little beast kicks like a mule... makes the PPK look civilized. [lol]

But I get to shoot them again this weekend in VT with Nickel. Should be a lot of fun.

Ross your cop is sweeeeeeeeet. Nice catch. I got a thinkg for pocket pistols myself. I have 2 Jennin's .22 and 1 Davis p380.

C-pher · Aug 31, 2005

Cool, I'm glad that you were able to get what you want.

Lynne · Aug 31, 2005

Awww....how cute!!

Nice finds Ross. Enjoy them.

MrsWildweasel · Aug 31, 2005

Hope you boys have a good time this weekend. Glad you tried them out. [lol]

Well, you didn't want another P10 for that LDA, so... I like my P12 better, anyway. The P10 is a sweet little gun, but for me, the muzzle blast was too fierce - it was making me flinch.

The P12 is a little more mellow.

Listen to me... calling a 3.5" barrelled .45 mellow. I must be turning (ever so slowly) into a recoil whore like my buddy Siggy. (he's saving up for a .460 XVR - a .454 Casull or a .480 Ruger are too mild for him. )

Yea, but do I really need two P10s? Ok, dumb question, as I have three P14s. But I am selling on of those. LOL!

Still, I do hope that one day I can get out with you to shoot. Well, that and to shoot that new four shot. [twisted]

You have two hands, right? Or you could give one to SWMBO - "Honey, look what I got you!"

Assuming that I can gas the beast, I'll be at Ripton this weekend... with my niece! [Liz, you don't know the power of the Dark Side... ]

Too late now, SR... I had it in the classifieds section for several weeks.

Now, if you want a nice Charter Arms .38 Off Duty snubbie, that's going to be up on the classified board by Monday night.

Nooooo I want the COP... [cry]

Ross, how does the 4 barrel derringer work? In my imagination, you pull the trigger and four bullets come out of the front end. That would be very, very cool, but probably just a little bit painful and a wee bit impractical. On the other hand, there wouldn't be any badguy left.

C-pher · Sep 1, 2005

I believe that every time you pull the trigger, the firing pin rotates over to the next barrel.

John, C-pher is correct; there's a firing pin for each barrel, and a cog in the firing mechanism rotates around to have a hammer hit each firing pin in sequence.

There is one in existance that can fire two barrels simultaneously... that's the one that was used in filming BladeRunner. Here's more information about it: http://www.racprops.com/issue4/leonsgun/

Jeremiah · Sep 1, 2005

Thanks for the link. That's a cool gun. Rotating firing pin--why didn't I think of that?

FPrice · Sep 1, 2005

Ross,

Now, if you want a nice Charter Arms .38 Off Duty snubbie, that's going to be up on the classified board by Monday night.

Is that one of the older ones?

dwarven1 · Sep 1, 2005

I don't know, Frosty... how can I tell?

I do know that it was made by Charter Arms, not Charter 2000. I had to replace the mainspring, and when I called up they told me that they were not the same company as made the gun... but the still sent me the main spring free. Works just fine.

Ross

FPrice · Sep 1, 2005

Can you post or email a pic?

dwarven1 · Sep 1, 2005

email on the way... norton's scanning it which is what's taking so long.

Yea, can you?

dwarven1 · Sep 2, 2005

yes, I can.

I also have a set of green "pakka" wood grips for it that are escaping my search at the moment... trying to get ready to leave for Ripton.

Ross

C-pher · Sep 2, 2005

Damn, that's nice looking. It's going up for sale??

dwarven1 · Sep 2, 2005

Yup. Haven't decided on a price yet; need to look up the blue book on it. Interested?

Ross

C-pher · Sep 2, 2005

MaaaayBe...

Let me know a price.

I've been thinking about getting a .38. I have the dies, brass, and powder... I even loaded up some .38. I just don't have a .38. I've been shooting them through my .357.

dwarven1 · Sep 2, 2005

Probably won't be until Monday night... I'm about to shut down the computer for the weekend (Yeah, I know... I'll be in withdrawal by tomorrow.)

Ross

MrsWildweasel · Sep 2, 2005

Have fun Ross,we'll miss you while you're gone.

C-pher · Sep 2, 2005

That's fine. I can wait. And have a good time and tell Nickel we said HI.

Lynne · Sep 2, 2005

Enjoy your weekend guys! Take pics and post them!
