Thanks :)
Why the %^&* does that huge bullet even fit and work in that pistol? From the pic it's obvious the 45-70 is so much wider than the 9mm
No problem! That particular derringer is special-made to hold a 45-70. A more typical derringer would look more like this or this.
Really, the only use case I can think of, other than "I like shooting powerful rounds", for the 45-70 is big-game hunting or self-defense against bears, lmao.
Oh, so it's custom-made as a joke, not an off-the-shelf model that you just put the wrong bullets in. That makes more sense.
Oh, for sure. I'm surprised it's made at all.
