    Remington Elliot Ring Trigger Pistol

    I've always admired the look of these little ring trigger 4 barrel pistols. I finally found one in good mechanical shape at a decent price.

    It shoots 32 rimfire short. I made up one reloadable case with just a starter pistol blank as the primer, no powder or bullet to test functionality - it went bang. I've ordered a dozen good reloadable cases from Jack Harrison. I already have a good supply of Ideal 299153 heel bullets. With the starter pistol blank, there is enough space for 4.0gr of 3F under the heel bullet. Not exactly a manstopper! But it should be fun to try out.

    I finally got to the range to try out the little ring trigger. It shot great. Here is a short video.

    Thank you very much for that fine educational intro of those little Remingtons !
    As far a belly gun defensive round that would be downright deadly.

    I always thought these were pretty cool little pistols. They seem to be much rarer than the famous Remington over/under .41 rimfire deringers. I started looking for one of these last year and eventually found this one. The bore's are pretty rough, but at card table range it doesn't seem to matter

    If'n I was cheating at cards, I wouldn't want to be staring at this.
