Boomstick Bruce Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 "Derringers must be .22 caliber or larger. The Remington style over/under barrel configuration and the Sharps fourbarreled Pepperbox are typical SASS legal Derringers" SASS rule book section 5 page 29 Does this mean they are the only legal derringers or they are just an example?

Indy Kid, SASS #4638 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 They are only examples. Bond and other over, under derringers' are the most common. I use a Bond in 38 spl. Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I’d think it would be ok. I assume barrels are 3 1/2” or less? only rule I could see is external hammer. Yours has hammers. But that would be pretty nit-picky! I’m glad you bought it. It was kinda tempting me! I kinda wish ole Dusty Morningwood would adopt me. He’s got lots of neat old guns!

Sedalia Dave Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I have one in 22 cal and unless you have the fingers of an anorexic skeleton you are guaranteed last place in any speed match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
