I picked up the Bearman Big Bore 380 and HATED it. Until I removed the trigger guard and began using my middle finger instead of my trigger finger. Face it, this is a close up and personal pistol. You’re not in a competition. Once i started using my middle finger, it fires every singe time similar to a normal pistol.
On shells like the 380 and 9mm the extractor was a waste because it didn't work well and it made it hard to load. So Bearman did away with the extractor on these models. I believe the 38 and shells with a rim still have extractors. I own a Cobra 380 with a trigger guard. I reworked the trigger and hammer to lighten the trigger pull and now it no longer has a half cock feature, now it only has a full cock, but the easier trigger pull is worth it. I believe the 380 is the perfect round for a derringer because it has less recoil than a 38 or a 9mm making it easier to fire and it is more accurate than a 22lr plus it still has some knock down power. The 22lr rounds tend to tumble making them inaccurate.
Fair review. I had a Cobra .22 WMR from many years ago that I sold, but later got into Western shooting nostalgia. A couple single action revolvers and a Bond arms derringer with multiple barrels later, I figured I'd revisit Cobra and ordered the .380 and .22 LR from a local dealer a few months back. Thought I would get old stock, but got Bearman boxes instead. The rectangular .380 trigger guard, rather than the rounded one online, was a surprise, but the lack of ejector and half-cock on the .380 had me on the phone right away. The lady was nice but said that was the policy now. A bit of a let down, but I changed out the plasticky grips with a faux-jade set with notched tops and must admit, it looks like a proper old west gun now. They are interesting for the price.
Called bearman this morning and the lady told me that they were recieving complaints from the failure of the extractors on non rimmed models. I said I like the extractor and I dont see it interferring with the function of the FA. She said she will look if they have a part but I should not tell anybody
@@CampfireSteveOutdoors same. it also bothered me plus when some casing expand it gets stuck and I dont want to use my fingernails or knife to take it out. She also said they are copying what bond arms is doing which is getting rid of the extractor
@@jsnantic got to the range today. Had a few new guns to break in including the Bearman 380. Only put 6 rounds through it and had one light strike. Needs more break in perhaps.
As of this post palmetto has these dirt cheap.❤
The trigger worked easy enough when you were demonstrating it. 🤔

Nice little Derringer,

@@jsnantic Interesting response. I'd buy an extractor for $10-$15. The naked cutout on the barrel just bothers me.
