Testing The Heizer .410 Pocket Shotgun

Heizer Defense are busy working on their upcoming Pocket Shotgun pistol that will be capable of firing both .410 shotshells and .45 Long Colt. One of the Heizer’s staff emailed me the above photo of two of their employees who had spent two and a half days shooting 5000 rounds of .410 though the prototype Pocket Shotgun. I am sure the first 200 or 300 rounds were a lot of fun … 😉

UPDATE: I mistakenly confused Heizer Defense with Double Tap Defense. The companies split up a while back.

    Another single shot 410/45. Bet it cost more than the Leinad/Cobra derringer.LOL

    Double action is what makes this with it I mean previous 45/410 derrengers had the reliability but none of the point shooting speed neccasary to make a shot pistol work I mean gimme a sec to cock the hammer and get a grip on it again doesn't work well in practice
