Note to self

Note to self:

If anybody offers to give you a DoubleTap .45ACP ported as a gift and you have to shoot the little bastard, thank them and decline the gift!

YIKES is my hand sore. Feels like someone hit web of hand with a ball peen hammer, even with gloves. Young range officer, maybe 21 came by to see what was making all the muzzle flash and I told my friend, he's a man, he'll shoot it.

The kid took the bait, heck yes, I'll try. He was still rubbing his hand as we left.

I've looked at those. My side by side double barreled derringer in .45LC/.410 was a handful, that looks the same

I've honestly never seen the point of guns like that. I mean the 'cool' factor is definitely there but for the relative size and weight I feel better severed by a five shot snubby Smith.

If I want a gun that hurts my hand when I shoot it, I'll get a S&W 500, nothing else.

I'm with ya. The friend that gave it to me came by and invited me to range. I wasn't going to shoot it otherwise.

When he left, we didn't shake hands, just waved at each other.

MY FIL and I have looked into getting a 500 I bet 10 times and always talk our selves out of it.....

I will tell you this little thing kicked more than a .44 mag and more than a 480 Ruger.

I have seen those little all metal blocky shaped things, LOOKS Like Pain in the hand to me. I don't want one! Rather use a My Trusty Little Springfield XD-S 45 for concealed carry, it does NOT hurt the hand.
Those Double Tap guns LOOK Cool. But also look and feel like it would HURT to shoot it! Especially with +P Loads! OUCH!

Agree, I love the XDS and the Kahr PM 45 is nothing to sneeze at.

I ain't trying to tame this one. It's going in the safe and the next one to shoot it will be whoever gets it from my estate.
