American Rifleman | Tested: IFG Howdah 45/410 Double-Barrel Pistol

Got this in a email from the NRA last night. Interesting and nice looking but don't think it is anything I need. Even if I was in serious snake country, not sure that do to the weight I would need it over anything else I might have. Snakecharmer .410 solved the issue for me at a much lower price than $1300. Of course a long handled hoe is even cheaper!

Interesting.
One more choice to opine about in a "what to carry in bear country" thread.

'In short, if a handgun has a rifled barrel and is designed to fire a legally recognized handgun cartridge, in this case the .45 Colt revolver cartridge, then stretching the chamber length and modifying the rifling to operate safely with a .410 shell in addition to the .45 Colt does not constitute a violation of NFA regulations.'

Better yet, get rid of such stupid regulations.

Perhaps this firearm is more pleasing to simply enjoy, than to study?

Not a cheap shooter but very interesting.

Looks more like the old Ithaca Auto Burgular Gun. I guess it would be handy if traveling by Elephant. I would think their
would be a limited market for a toy with that price tag.

I think it looks great! I used to own an H&R Handy Gun (fully registered and tax paid) which I really enjoyed. Great woods gun. I'll start saving my pennies.

Any advise for a holster ?
I think this would be in the open carry category !

An educational opportunity! Nice police officers would love to learn the nuances of the NFA from you.
