It would be an absolutely devastating carry weapon. Not that I would admit to doing...

It's sort of surreal Hollywood, with arguable reality.

Could you just imagine the look on someone's face? When someone (law abiding and in the most dire of circumstance) pulls a double barrel out of their clothing these days?

Winter is coming, and coats are common place and not out of the ordinary.

****Hey was the shotgun Mad Max carried in his films the same as the OP's? It looks very similar to me! I had a chance to fire something like that a couple of times at one of our defensive pistol/shotgun classes. Even with "light" loads it was unbelievably loud and had ridiculous recoil. We were shooting B27 sized reactive targets made of wood and covered with ballistic rubber - and a blast from that crazy shotgun just knocked them down *violently*. Just for giggles I tried shooting a fast string of fire from my Glock 34 with 124 gr boolets at those shotgun targets and *almost* got one to go down but I guess it was just not enough energy in the shots to put it down.

I would hate to think what hitting a human bean with that OP gun would do in close quarters. I'm thinking major cleanup in the aisle plus tenderized meat for the barbie with some dry rub!

Good friend of mine walking down his street in Capitol Hill was robbed via sawed off shotgun deployed from overcoat.

I think I 'need" to order one of these. I don't have a B.P. shotgun. I have a B.P. rifle and B.P. pistols. But no B.P. shotgun.

Is this enough requirement/justification to obtain it?

They have a coupon code (835) that gets you $35.00 off of the 8" Desperado.

And just for general info, the Uberti 1847 Walker weighs 4.5 pounds. Which is a half pound more than the Desperado...

O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars are in the poorest thing superfluous.

A Shakespearian answer. Of course.

Close to Mad Max but the grip on MM's DB was more along the lines of a sawed off regular stock(like in post 8) than a pistol grip like post 1.

BP may work ok for this one but IDK. A friend of mine has a Mossberg 500 JIC and ran some 3" mags through it and he said it was not pleasant.

I'm pretty sure no one is going to use it as a target gun.

I’m also thinking of using a wrist wrap when shooting this behemoth.

It will be a fun range toy.

In one of the videos I was watching, this guy was running up various loads of quantity (FFg) and FFFg). Got to the point where he loaded 150gr of FFG and it was a pretty awful pronounced “kick” or recoil, however you want to describe it…

Once, a Christmas morning a long time ago, my wife gifted me a TC Arms Omega. Which I promptly took to the AGC. I loaded the max charge 150gr of 777 and proceeded to practically dislocate my shoulder. My wife went back to the truck… she wanted no part of that.

It was afterwards, when I discovered the discipline of black powder load development.

****yea, I got to shoot a Thompson Contender with the .45-70 setup... Just why they even made that thing I dunno - the recoil was just *brutal*. Imagine doing your W&C qualification using that bad boy!
