A Tactical 12 Gauge ML Double Barreled Shotgun? YES PLEASE!

[Super Sneaky Steve]

When these Diablo pistols came out I thought they were neat, but no part of me wanted that kind of recoil in a pistol and they seemed impractical. I always told myself, if they gave it a stock it would be awesome and I'd buy one. Well, now they do! I'm going to order the 11" barrel.

The whole reason I really got into BP was to find a practical way to hunt and fight in case normal components become hard to find or illegal. This gun would fit the bill nicely with a few cap and ball revolvers on my belt.

you can do the same thing with any shotgun loaded with black powder and a pump with 6 or 8 shells is no laughing matter serious firepower.

I’ve looked at their pistols before. Can’t deny the hole in the barrel is 12 gauge, but 1/2 ounce of shot sounds like a weak 410 load to me.

Yes, but the ATF wouldn't like it if you cut it down to 11, 8 or 6 inches without a stamp.

That's what they recommend in pistols and I think it's more so you don't break your wrist.

Well, it IS tactical, and no doubt ballistic, too!

Where's that purple font when you need it?

I guess I’m a little on the spectrum and don’t always recognize humor.

40 grains of black powder and 220 grains of lead sounds like a 45 Colt load. Nowhere near what I think of a 12 gauge being. Weaker than a decent 357 magnum load.

I have a very old damascus 12 ga double that loves about 80 grains of 2F and an ounce or so of lead shot, or even a single/double round ball of about .60 caliber. Patterns nicely, recoil is mild and will get the job done. I use brass shells.

Ya still gotta have or make CAPS! My flinchlocks are NOT tacticool, but components can easily be produced.

Amen.

I have often wondered what kind of pressure the Diablo pistol would take seems with a 209 primer 10 gains of fast smokeless would not give much pressure under even an ounce payload.
