I’ve seen these things a couple times. Never actually held one, but curious if anybody has one and their thoughts on it. I’ve got far more than I need for practical purposes so now I just like interesting things. It would sit in the safe with the occasional visit to the range.

Dunno I’m crazy apparently because my next gun Hunt has ranged from this to a Chiappa rhino to a gold desert eagle 50, but I’ve got the itch and I need to scratch it with some something.

Be got one and it’s a fun gun. I use it at the range sometimes. I've never carried it, although I have the holster (and tee. And hat.)

I also have a 6 inch Rhino, but I like odd guns.

I held one for the first time yesterday. Strange little thing. Bigger then I expected. Seemed reasonably well made.

UMMMM ya OK Fred or did auto-correct just have a field day with you?

Thanks.

I purchased two. It's a novelty for sure. I recommend buying the extended grips if you have large hands. Appears to be well built.

I had to look this up; hadn't heard of it.

Their description contains some bold claims that are pretty humorous

"...sets the standard for the ultimate in personal protection..."

"By combining standard ammunition and birdshot, each pull of the trigger will deliver an incredible combination of firepower..."

"These Revolvers are far more superior to any other automatic pistol..."

"... the most redundant and reliable personal protection firearm when your life is on the line."

"The resulting S333 Thunderstruck™ is the safest personal protection firearm available."

Good stuff

LGS got one in a while back. Counter guy was pushing it hard, talked me into holding it and dry-firing (apparently it's ok to do that, even though it's a rimfire). I was no more impressed after doing so than I was before. It's a weird thing with a goofy trigger that shoots rimfire ammo, and serves no practical purpose, IMO. If you're into novelty stuff, I guess it could be an interesting toy, but that's my only imaginable justification for purchasing one.

If anybody here has actually shot one I would be curious to know if both barrels actually shoot to point of aim. Even if it does, I'll stick with my Speed-6 and SP-101.

Yeah I saw those claims on their site about the gun. If the dp-12 is any indication of the quality produced by standard manufacturing I think it’s worth giving it a shot. The only issue I’ve had with my dp-12 is the stupid plastic they use for shipping the gun leaves a sticky gunk on the gun I had to clean off, but besides that a very fun gun.

Looks like it’d be fun to play with....not my choice for ccw. That being said I’d like to play with one at the range though.

I don't need "justification." Life is too short.

Never heard of it, so I looked it up.


Some "outside-the-box" thinking there. I'm a little puzzled by some of it. Am I to understand that each trigger pull/indexing of the cylinder fires two cartridges? So it would be a four-shot, but with two bullets per shot? And are you supposed to pull the trigger with your index and middle fingers, while gripping it with your ring and little? How is your ring finger not pinched? And .22 Magnum? It does appear to have prominent, but still non-snagging, sights.

Yes, and there is no pinch, I don't know why. And the trigger pull would challenge an adult gorilla. Out to 15 yards, both bullets strike within an inch of each other. And yes, it is a "4 shot" revolver, 8 rounds, 2 per trigger pull.

Probably why you need two fingers to pull it.

Another example of "outside-the-box" thinking is the shape of the grip, tapering from top to bottom, just as your fingers from the middle to the little get shorter. Almost every other revolver grip is the opposite, some so much so that they "crowd" or pinch your ring and little fingers together at the bottom.
