None that I can see for pistol calibers. The velocity would be higher but I don't really see that as any particular advantage. Possibly better pattering in .410 than with the 4.25". The pattern of a 2.5" .410 in a 4.25 inch barrel is quite a bit tighter than the same load in a 3" barrel (or 3" in a 3.5" barrel). I haven't seen any pattern tests done with a 6"Do you think the 6" barrel offers any advantage(s) at all?
Honestly, it was strictly the "cool factor" that made me want one. Who would't want a 6" barreled derringer?????Call me "weird," but I really like how the 6" ones look -
Would anyone think it weird that I considered having a mount for a red dot made for it?
Bond used to sell barrels direct, but apparently you now have to go through a dealer for them.
