collecting bug

[gryphthemyth]

So this is a little out of this sections intent but as it seemed to be the only .22 section I decided to put it here. I have recently been bitten by a rather strange collecting bug (dont laugh). I have gone nuts collectiing small novelty style mouse guns such as davis derringer, 22 NAA, and I even found an old butler 22 short. I am wondering if anyone out there has any other suggestions on these style little pocket pals I should look for as this is a new area of guns in which I have not looked at before. I am looking at fairly inexpensive 22 caliber and small models for collecting. Any suggestions?

Freedom Arms made a line of mini revolvers as well as belt buckles to carry them in.

Yup i have been bitten by that bug to. Old boot pistols are cool. Go on gunbroker and search for pocket pistols and or boot pistols.

Re: collecting bug

Desert Arms out of Nevada, they have gone out of business, made a line of semi autos with a card theme. the double duece was the 22 LR and the Two bits was the .25 ACP. they are rare but can be found.

good luck with your collection. the chase is the fun part.
