Saw an ad from Tanners selling these. Double action revolver that shoots 2 .22 mags with each pull of the trigger. Holds 8 rounds, so four double shots...

Not sure what I think. I'd have to see how small it is. Seems like you'd be just as well off with a .357 revolver if the sizes are anywhere near the same.

No trigger guard. Long trigger pull, long reset.

What a turd.

Goofy. $369? S&W Shields are almost half that.

Your not gonna EVER hear me say this again........

I’d rather have a Taurus Judge with buckshot then this. Jesus I feel dirty.

Maybe it would be interesting with a normal trigger and trigger guard, but like that - no way.

As you should. There was a joke, like 45 or so years ago, where a guy said "suck one dick and you're a cocksucker for life".

"A fool and his money...."

Yeah - not sure how they think leaving off a traditional trigger guard is a good thing.

Also not sure what that lower piece of trigger is for ? Pull trigger with two fingers ?

Okay, I'll admit it. I got mine in September, with a holster, tee shirt and hat. I really like odd guns, and this one meets that criteria. It's about the size of a j-frame, but a little heavier than an all steel one. Don't worry about the trigger guard, it really does take two fingers to pull the trigger, it runs around 20 pounds. It's the heaviest trigger I've used since my old Hi-Standard 22 magnum in the 70's. I would have posted about it a while back, but you can understand my reluctance.

I've put about 200 rounds thru it. After the first box, I began using a shooting glove. The recoil is about like a light 44 magnum load.

It's relatively accurate out to about ten yards. I am able to keep both barrels on a 4 inch dot from that range. After that, the right barrel puts them out to the right. (I tested it with empties, firing one barrel at a time, to figure this one out.)

All I used in it was Hornady Critical Defense rounds, as I came across a quantity cheaply recently in a trade.

Any gun beats no gun, and two rounds beats one, and it did not misfire our jam, BUT I wouldn't carry it save as a last resort. I do sometimes carry a S&W 22 magnum j-frame, usually as a backup, and for when Arthur flares up.

It is very well made, as have all Standard Mfg guns I've seen. Much like the rainbow plated guns and my Bond Arms bullpen, it's a novelty gun and great fun to play with.

I know, I know, I know.

So, you do use two fingers on that trigger. Interesting. Can't say I've heard of or seen another gun like that.

That definitely qualifies as weird.

No thanks

I know. All guns should be black, metal, 9mm or 45, and fit for police carry. Variation will not be tolerated.

Nothing much has changed since S&W introduced the Model 39, starting the "revolver vs semi" wars.

Gun folks are SO rigid.

Rimfire need heavy spring to set them off and be reliable. Two at once, even more so. Use a small internal hammer, even more so. So I understand why you need the big two finger trigger. I'd just thought they'd have given up before they got to that point.

After all the talk I had to see what it looked like. Here's the Manufactures video on why and how it was made and materials used.

I think there’s a pretty good chance these will end up being closed out by CDNN in a couple years.

Doubtful they will be "closed out" like that. Seems like they are being built on order, that is, production is limited to pre-paid orders.
