45/70 Derringer.......Need I say more?

Damn! While I have been known to really enjoy my 45-70 BFR that's just a whole different planet of hurt there!

Might touch off a trap-door level reload in that thing but nothing and I do mean nothing else!
 
Just one comment .... why?

I've fired a .45 Colt Derringer and it was a palm smacking experience, not something I wanted to do again.
 
45-70 on top, yet he loaded it on the bottom.
WTF?
Wouldn't that have been a problem? Can you even load the bottom with 45-70?

I thought that too, the first time I watched it.

But watch it again. The barrels flip over when you close it. Top/bottom reverse when you close it.
 
Cool little gun.

I fired two 45-70 factory rounds out of a Thompson pistol last year in Penn. My right hand was "ringing" and not "happy" enough to try a third round! Not a fun gun to fire many rounds out of IMO.

I can't imagine how it would feel firing that little thing with the same round.

I've found Thompson Pistols really hurt my hand. Something about the shape or how the recoil pulse is routed. Had a 500S&W Encore that was horrible for recoil. Same loads in a 500S&W X-frame and all was A OK.

A 45-70 BFR is a great range toy, handles recoil great. I'd hate to shoot it in a T/C though.
 
The 45-70 option seems discontinued. I would buy one just for fun. Trailboss for me and factory for you. The barrel is Canada legal 4.1". Sweet
