This thing is a little hand cannon chambered in 45acp. Your hand will be sore after just a couple rounds. You will not want to shoot it for fun but that is not what it is intended for. It is very slim and concealable. Buds was awesome as always. 4 stars simply because it is not fun too shoot but I should have known that going in.

A very unique pistol, it is so small & lightweight. The recoil is pretty harsh. And with just 2 shots it is not a very good CCW gun. There are better choices out there.

LOL this gun had so much recoil that I only shot 2 rounds out of it. I kept the gun for a while so my friends could shoot it and then laugh at them. Worst gun I ever shot

Boot gun, last chance, lol. This thing is not a pleasure to shoot but it was priced right from Bud's.

Somewhat larger than expected. May not fit in all pockets. Rubber grip was VERY hard to find and pricey. Quality construction. Not the pistol you'll spend all day shooting.

Such a tiny pocket gun. Easy to carry as a 2nd gun but not much fun to shoot. Even w/ ported barrel very punishing to shooter when fired multiple times. Wish I has purchased trains/practice handle. Solid build and well-made.

Great personal protection pistol. My favorite to conceal carry.

Very nice piece. Shot it once to see if all the negative output some were saying and yes it does have a kick and maybe not a good option for women but it wasnt bad at all. You can buy a gel rap for the grip to make the kick alittle less irritating while firing, I ordered one and it feels nice I have not been back out to the range but when I do I will tell the results. Thanks bud.

item was in perfect condition. 5 stars to Bud's. The firearm itself was too wide for my hand and was eventually re-sold.

I bought this with both the 9mm ported and 45 ported barrel, the best way to describe the recoil shooting 230 gr RN is to place your hand on an anvil and hit it with a hammer ,make that a big hammer. if you enjoy abusing your hand and wrist this guns for you. It is well made and worked flawlessly

Ow. Just ow. This thing hurts, but it went bang every time and had a ridiculous trigger pull. Carried it in my pocket, but do your hands a favor, get the 9mm.

A lot of people put down this gun. However it does exactly what it is supposed to do! The .45 is really unpleasant on the web between your thumb and index finger, you will learn quickly to only shoot this gun out of necessity. It is fun to have your friends shoot it and complain about their hand hurting all day. It has always fired and grouping within 15yds is more than sufficient. This is a great gun for summer when you want to carry but want to be discreet, no buldge on the hip and you will forget you have it due to its weight and thickness.

Really like this as a backup. Very accurate at close ranges. Top quality.Easily hides in back pocket.Uses same ammo as my carry pistol.

Cool little 45 , its a handful when fired! Thanks Buds for a great price! Less than half of what my local gun shops wanted!

This was the first firearm I bought through Bud's. I was not disappointed. They are very professional and allow you to track your purchase the whole time. They also send daily emails to keep you up on the progress

Kicks like a mule. I sold it the guy likes it. It just wasn't the one for me.

Buds shipping was timely as usual. one trip to the range and several failures to fire later I decided this gun needed to be relegated to the safe. Light primer strikes plagued the handgun and it's nothing short of brutal when it comes to recoil. I would steer way away from this one. Novelty aside it's useless.

Too heavy for a pocket pistol. Shots good, long trigger pull. If it knocks the bad guy down they either won't get up or will get up real slowly.

This gun is the pain train. It will put a hurt on the shooters hand as well as the assailant. It is a great idea but it does hurt to shoot. I still carry it for a backup because it is so light and small but i will not practice with it. You also cant use plus p rounds in it. I wouldn't want to anyways. It is well built thou and you can change out barrels if you so wish.

Unbelievably accurate pistol. We were hitting targets 40-50ft. away. The recoil was no where near as bad as what I thought it would be. Got the .45 and the 9mm just in case the .45 was too much recoil but ended up giving the 9mm to the wife. Trigger pull is comparable to a revolver and you can feel when it's going to break. Great little lightweight pocket gun that will be going in my shorts this summer. If you are thinking about a derringer style gun, I would highly recommend this over the traditional style.

Well...This is not the kind of gun you buy to shoot! Personally, I'd rather take the business end! But still, I like this gun! It's light, small, easy to conceal. It might save your life as a back up gun. But this gun sucks to shoot! First time out. I put 6 rounds through it. Gun functioned fine. Although Steal rounds are a pain to eject. Brass works fine. But 6 rounds is all I could tolerate! This gun is painful to shoot. Picture getting hit with a ball bat between the webbing of your thumb and index finger! It's not fun to shoot at all! It is fun to let your friends shoot it though! Muahahaha!

Bought a Doubletap ported in 45. I watched the videos, read the reviews. It was priced right at Bud's. Got it quickly, smooth transaction. Happy with Bud's. This gun shoots as it should. The manual states which ammo to use. Worked flawlessly. I bought a rubber training grip made by Doubletap. I fired 4 shots, my brother 2 shots. We shoot a fair amount of hand guns. The trigger is the longest, hardest, trigger ever. The thing hits SO hard I couldn't do more than the 4 shots. It could be a back-up but it is exactly what I expected, a "NOVELTY GUN". Buy one cheap, shoot it, put it away. Some day this will be worth something as a novelty, not as a tool.
