Marshal Jack Murphy SASS #32018 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I just acquired a Bond derringer and plan to shot in the derringer side match at Winter Range. What configuration of trigger guard and grips are allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wolf Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Straight from the handbook. pre-1900 is the key for grips and guards A Derringer is defined as an external hammer, fixed sight, breech loading or percussion ignition, small frame pre-1900 design firearm having one to four barrels up to three and one-half inches long. Derringers must be .22 caliber or larger. The Remington style over/under barrel configuration and the Sharps fourbarreled Pepperbox are typical SASS legal Derringers - .22 Magnum ammunition is not allowed.

Marshal Jack Murphy SASS #32018 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks Howling wolf for the reply but I had already read the SASS Handbook but was still not totally clear so that is why I asked. So I will asked more direct question hoping for some clarification.. 1. Does the trigger guard have to be removed? I guess yes it does since the Remington derringer does not have a trigger guard. 2. Can the extended grip be used? I guess not because the Remington derringer did not have an extended grip. Mine came with an extend grip is why I need to know if I should buy a standard grip so I can shoot in the side events at Winter Range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howlin' Wolf Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I assumed you had read them, but you never know. I believe your answers are correct with a no to both or at least the grip. However I am no authority, just a guy. I would allow them both because it’s a derringers so who cares but that’s just me. Not sure why no one has chimed in yet.

Grizzly Dave Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I would think that the trigger guard and factory extended grip would be just fine. That's how mine is and hadn't even given a thought to it. But like you, I'm new to the derringer thing myself. Hopefully PWB or someone else will chime in with more info.

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Bond now sells a rubber grip for their derringer. It does a great job of controlling recoil and making long sessions more pleasant. Unfortunately, it's not SASS legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
