According to Heizer’s website, the DoubleTap is the world’s smallest and lightest .45 ACP concealed carry pistol on the market, and it has several patents pending. Two rounds can be stored in the gun’s chamber with two additional bullets in the grip. Here’s more info on the pistol from the press release:

The break-action features a patent-pending progressive barrel porting option that cuts muzzle rise and recoil. The ambidextrous thumb latch releases the action and automatically ejects the spent rounds.

Unlike any firearm, the DoubleTap features a truly revolutionary double-action trigger system that utilizes ball bearings for a smooth action and crisp trigger pull.

Looks really hot.

It’s no doubt banned in California, New York, Taxxachussetts, and Illinoying.

Big whoop, a polymer Derringer.

teeny tiny gun with big bullets

Probably hurt the hell out of your hand.

[rockrr]

I bet it has a brutal recoil.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Looks like the darn thing would jump itself into a spin when fired.

I like it!!! (but I'll it bites like a cheap cigar)

[rmlew]

So it’s a composite .45ACP derringer?

Muzzle rise guaranteed ≤ 24"   ;-)

No plastic parts.

So we're back to derringers, are we?

Bet that thing is accurate. </sarcasm>

Proudly posting without reading since 2000. ;)

It’s still ugly.

I’ve never been a big fan of porting on these small guns. Yes I’m sure it has a hell of a recoil. But these are guns to be carried much and shot little, so who cares.

These ARE guns that will come into play in close quarter situations, often hand to hand (think, some maniac is sitting on top of you banging your head against the sidewalk). Those ports provide an awful blast, usually containing small particles of lead or jacket. Hate to have that gun near my head and the ports pointing towards my face and eyes.

That’s a thin pistola. I like it. Make it $150 and I would buy one.

I suspect you could hit anyone close enough to touch with your finger.

Looks like the darn thing would jump itself into a spin when fired.

Notice that the ported version has 10 ports per barrel.
