Customer Reviews for Doubletap Defense Non Ported 9mm Derringer

I did not like this gun and sold it within a couple of days of receiving it.

Awesome derringer. heck of a kick from the 45 barrels, not that bad from the 9mm barrels though. The easiest gun I've owned to conceal, because of it's width. Johnny

I bought this gun, when the shine was going away, and purchased for a good price. I never intended to carry as a self defense weapon, but rather a snake gun. I would load with 9mm CCI shot shells works well for that purpose. More logical and ergonomic to load than a derringer.

Kicks like a mule. Works but is difficult to clear chamber sometimes.

The 9mm non ported kicks like a mule. However my wife loves shooting this thing, she says it doesn't kick that bad. Buds did a great job as usual. All in all this is a nice backup, backup, gun

Cool little 9mm , its a handful when fired! Thanks Buds for a great price! Less than half of what my local gun shops wanted!

THIS IS ONE BAD POCKET GUN FUN TO SHOOT EASY TO CONCEAL.SMALL AND THIN ENOUGH I CARRY IT AT WORK. BUDS GUN SHOP IS THE BOMB PERFECT SERVICE FAST SHIPPING!!!

Finally got to the range with my Non-ported 9mm Double-Tap. Accurate enough for me at 21 ft. range. figure that is the max distance I would ever be utilizing this pistol. My sixth shot did sting a little, but just gave it a break and shot another eight after shooting another pistol. No issues with misfires, I did use the ammo that was recommended. All in all I am very happy with this cool pistol, It is great for when I am out riding my motorcycle, I just slip it into my back pocket. I feel that the long, heavy trigger pull makes it safe to carry, but did make accuracy a little tough for me. At 21 feet I was within a ten in circle with many shots on bulls eye when I really tried. Buds of course was great as always.

3rd gun bought from buds and 5 star all the way. Fast shipping and fair price. Gun is fun to shoot and does not kick as hard as they say in my opinion. Ran 100 rounds of good ammo through it without a problem. Looking at the .45acp next.

Good craftsmanship on the gun. Very simple and nothing really to go wrong on it, shoots every time. I would not use it for target practice too much, ouch on the palm from kickback.

Good quality overall for the money....Dont like the way the spare rounds go in the butt...it's hard to get the latch closed tight with them in. It's actually a bit larger than I thought it would be. For example my Ruger lcp380 is actually smaller and of course has higher capacity. Having said all that it's a good glove box or tackle box pistol. Bud's was good as the Usually are

+++++ MY DOUBLE TAP ARRIVED AS LISTED AND VERY HAPPY WITH IT AND ESPECIALLY THE PRICE - THANK YOU +++++

NICE GUN VARY LIGHT GOOD TO CARRY ON YOUR BELT

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.

First off, Bud's totally rocks. Second, I got my DoubleTap today and am very impressed. The trigger is perfect for this gun, contrary to the whiners who complain and it being too hard. I've already dry fired it , with snap caps, about 500 times. It is not hard at all. Second, it is light (but not too light) amazingly thin and feels great in the hand. I have not fired it since I wanted to clean it first (recommended) - but that should be in the next day or two. Thanks Bud's!! Don't believe the negative hype on these. It is a perfect deep concealed gun. Bang bang.

I ordered the Double-tap because it looked cool , and i got it within 48 hours , the gun is perfect , beautiful , the recoil is not that bad at all , fun to use and easy to carry , the staff at buds are absolutely wonderful , and within 24 hours i ordered my self a rifle .

I love my double tap . I bought the 9mm with plans to get the 45acp kit. It fires flawlessly . The recoil isn't bad at all. Like shooting a similar caliber revolver. Quality made handgun . Fun to shoot. I bought the sport grip and would recommend it. It fits the gun well,looks good and stays in place. Buds service and communication are top notch.

Very happy with the purchase. At 5 yds mine is very accurate. This is an up close and personal defense weapon and conceals very well inside the waistband in a holster I purchased made for the gun. I forget its there it is so comfortable. Buds awesome also.

Not the first order from Buds and wont be the last. What can I say. Top quality product and fast delivery. Ordered a Double Tap 9mm. Gun came in mint condition. Delivery time was faster than the time I had to go pick it up. Once again Buds offers excellent service and great products. Thanks to all of you that makes shopping with you always a great experience James.

It has been a slow year for me as i have most everything out there. Now i am trending to buy my 3rd of the same gun. I got the Double Tap because Buds has them for $179 so I could not resist. My first one cost me $350. I believe the company is out of business. I did manage to find another rubber slip on grip for this one. I had the extra non-ported 45ACP barrel so i had to make a set. This new one made a 3300 mile trip to be with me with a stay in Florida but i did get it. Now this one semes to have been fired a lot prior. Perhaps a repair. Boy no regrets at the price. Buds pulled though. [img]http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/attachments/collections-d-

I love this little pocket rocket. VERY well made handgun. Bud's has the best deal anywhere on the these pistols by the way. The pistol is lite, thin and stupid easy to conceal. It's chambered in the most popular pistol caliber in the world, so no problems finding ammo. Great smooth trigger. There is literally nothing that can malfunction on this handgun besides an internal mechanical malfunction. I honestly don't know why they aren't more popular. I put about 25 rounds thru her the first day at 3, 7 and 10 yards. Didn't want to put anymore than 25 rounds because I feel this gun is not made to shoot 50 to 100 rounds at a time. The gun is more accurate than I am, as most guns are, so no problems there. Now for what everybody blabs about, recoil. Again, I honestly don't understand why everyone on the web says the recoil is just so terrible. Maybe for the 45 ACP but not this 9mm. (Come on guys, maybe stop the weekly manicures.) I found it to be snappy at best. No worse than a Ruger LCP or Kel-Tec 3AT loaded with self defense ammo. The recoil is not in any way painful or even unpleasant. Like I said snappy at best. This is my EDC gun and it is with me at all times. I highly recommend this pistol. Going to buy a second one ASAP.

I am happy with this purchase. At $179.00, I could not bypass this deal. This is a reliable firearm. I have a hard time with accuracy, but I'm assuming it's me and not the firearm. The trigger pull is long and heavy, but not a bad thing. For what the intended purpose is, it needs to be. The recoil is not bad to me...use a glove and you're okay. I can tolerate about 10 rounds and then it ceases to be enjoyable. I had a problem with the trap door not closing. I contacted Doubletap and received a quick response. It was a simple fix - just tighten the screws and everything was good. Overall a good quality weapon.

I just purchased two double tap 9mm. Very accurate....reliable.....great last chance back up... for those of you that can't handle a light weight 9.....really ? Buy a .22 Even my girlfriend can shoot it without an issue..... Wow so many people without experience....

I saw that buds had the 9mm doubletap for 179.00so I ordered it online.After 4 days I got a e mail that it was in. When I picked it up at buds I was impressed with the quality of the gun.I ordered blaser brass 115 gr. 9mm ammo when I ordered the gun. The gun worked fine with the blaser and the empty cases came out easily,The gun does recoil stoutly,so I bought some 5/8 heater hose,split it in half and placed it over where the web of your hand contacts the gun.It made practice easier.Because the gun is thin and flat it does well in a pocket.It actually is very light. I am very happy with the gun and buds service.

Well worth the money. I wanted one of these when they first came out but I wasn't going to pay $499 for one. I am very happy that I found one here at Bud's for only $179. This gun is surprisingly accurate, though I just read a review on here, that says "Better be 3 feet away". Take reviews with a grain of salt. I've read bad reviews on things I've had no issues with and good reviews on things I've had nothing but problems with. If you're an experienced shooter and can adapt to various guns, then the small front sight and shallow channel type rear sight won't affect you after a few practice rounds. I was hitting 3-5 inch shot groups at 5yds. that's a little more than 3 ft. ; ) and a lot smaller than a human torso, and my hands aren't as steady as they used to be. I just turned 43 and my hands are a little shaky from years of abuse and Carpal Tunnel damage. The owners manual states to use the exact ammo brand as the empty test fired shells that came in the box with your pistol. They're not kidding. I tried out some TulAmmo and PPU that I had laying around and got horrible results. Nothing against those companies, I have no complaints with them, this gun is just very sensitive to ammo type. This ammo is fine in any other gun I've tried it in. In my Double Tap, these brands failed to fire 4 out of 8 rounds and the ones that did fire would have the casings stuck in the chamber so bad I had to use a cleaning rod to push them out. It does not like steel or aluminum ammo, or the primers in either of them. The spent casings that came with my gun were Blazer brass 9mm Luger 115 grain. Once I put that in it, perfect results every time. never failed to fire, casings fell right out when I opened and turned it upside down. This gun is hardly noticeable to me with the IWB holster I bought for it, and very concealable. This was well worth the money for a nice and lite concealed carry piece. I was looking for a small .380 like a Taurus Curve, but they're Out of Stock everywhere and I got sick of waiting. It might hold less rounds but it's got the power of 9mm or 45 at your disposal. Another ding on them that everyone says is that it kicks too hard and you can only fire 4 rounds out of it before you want to quit. It's not a weekend range gun, I agree. It's there for emergencies, but don't be afraid of the kick and let it stop you from practicing with it, it's not that bad. I didn't even get the Ported version and it's fine. I had Carpal Tunnel surgery on both hands two years ago. My palms are pretty sensitive to this day, but this gun did not cause me any major pain. I just fired 14 rounds on Saturday through it and my hand is not sore. I've seen reviews online where people say to get low recoil ammo to mitigate that kick. The owners manual specifically states not to use it. If people would fire the recommended ammo out of it they'd have no problem. I love this little gun.
