The Heizer pocket AR?! A 5.56 DERRINGER?!
11 years ago
Many of you have heard of the DoubleTap derringer.
This little gun made by Heizer Defense is a very thin, two barrel derringer made in .45 ACP or 9mm.
While very small and neato, it's high price tag and almost obsolete qualities (it is advertised for the concealed carry market) have made many haters and people who discount it (raises paw).
Last year, the same company released video and press of a new product.
The Pocket Shotgun. A single barrel .410 derringer, that can also shoot .45 long colt.
It is actually a neat little gun and I wouldn't mind having one for novelties sake.
So how much do you expect to pay for this single shot .410 with 3 1/4 in barrel? $125 is max? Hmm, but keep in mind it is a high tech manufacturing company...
$150 max you say?
Try $380.
Yes, you heard me THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY FAAKIN DOLLARS FOR THIS THING.
By now you are thinkin "Is this company insane?!"
Well, yes, they are.
At the 2014 NRA Show, Heizer debuted it's new product in the line of "most powerful small guns in the world."
The PAR1. The Pocket AR.
A 5.56 single shot derringer with what looks like a 3.75in barrel.
And guess what retail price is? $449...
Shooting a 5.56 from a barrel that short will not only be an absolute disgrace to the cartridges ballistics (hardly any powder burn from that short barrel), but you would be far better off with a .22 magnum derringer for half the price.
This gun is a solution to a problem that never even existed.
Furthermore, it begs the question, WHY???
Why make such a product and sell it for a stupidly high price?
Oh I know why, cause there is so many AR owners out there who think "Eye shooot thas bullit in ma rafle, thas pestil mus be jes as gud."
Yes, I am saying that if you pay full price for this thing, you probably talk like that.
So yes, Heizer is a company that has completely lost their minds.

And Bond Arms, American Derringer, and Cobray have all had .45LC/.410 derringers, though Heizer claims to be the first. That's not even taking into consideration the .45 ACP shotshells that've been produced.
But Heizer's is one shot and an insane price.
You can get the Bond Arms derringer with one more barrel for less price.
*really anywhere from a 5-shot officer to a 10-shot stick or one of the bigger, goofy mags, I suppose.Damn furries
