Played that scene back couple times and yes I did see that. Thanks for pointing that out! The grips are the original Rugers which I did a little work on to center them up a bit better.

Maybe a combination of the way you have to pull the trigger downward and the grip?
I'd be most pleased to have any and every excuse to fall back on .... one factor that I've noticed is the very different impact points of the two barrels .... not knowing which will fire when the trigger is pulled complicates things

Here this might help.... Hickok45 trying the Bond derringer and explains how he sets up the chamber to fire at around 10:30 mark.

thanks for the link, I enjoyed the video .... taking aim at 5' or so, I'm not good but ain't real bad either .... when I know which barrel is going to fire, at 10' or so, I usually come reasonably close .... when I don't know, on a body silhouette target I aim at center mass (AKA belly button) .... from the top barrel the bullet will hit in the area around the heart .... from the bottom barrel will the bullet will hit in a much more private area .. :? ...I haven't figured out how to focus when point shooting

That was a great video forty. I enjoyed it. Nice point shooting.
Your photograph composition is very nice too. I hadn't seen the forum before I saw your video. I really like the hat and the rig photographs. .44 special is a very nice round in my opinion. I enjoy it in my Smith and Wesson's. Your Ruger looks great. Thanks for the photographs and video.

the first 2/3 of this video shows the difference in impact points between the upper and lower barrels at short distances .... it also shows how one can learn to aim and fire with decent results at 7 or so yards ....
