.357 magnum!! What a beast that would be to fire it!!!! OUCH!!
Nothing more than a novelty gun. Did you see the price? $499!! Way too much!
Whoa, the concealability factor would be great! Wonder what happens to the ballistics when you fire out of such a short barrel?

I was thinking the same thing.... One heck of a backup gun!

:oOuch-that's just gotta HURT!I've got a couple of the american derrigers,45acp,and .357mag-believe it or not the 45acp recoil is much worse than the 357!Those derrigers look like they have almost double the weight over this single shot-just gotta HURT!:lol:

The .45 and .357 both suffer pretty bad with a shorter barrel. Some ammo munfacturers make special defensive ammo designed for snub nosed .38's. That is the calliber I would choose. A 357 will not do anything a 38 could'nt do with that barrel.

Couldnt imagine shooting .357Mag in one of those, its enough to handle in a 6" revolver, let alone that tiny thing...
ok its not THAT bad of a round, but I shoot mostly .45acp and .22, not used to a lot of recoil from a handgun lol .45acp is a lot more mild and controllable than most care to think :)

reminds me of the WWII liberator pistols. Neat piece.

Single shot wouldn't be a very good backup. And at 11 oz, even throwing it at them wouldn't hurt much. :lol:
