What is the MSRP of the new Heizerdefense .45 ACP DoubleTap concealed carry Pistol. Please respond to my email address geocdtr@frontiernet.net (i want to buy)
I want to purchase a .45 calib, titanium, ported barrels derringer. I am not a licensed gun dealer. I am a retired law enforcement officer. Can you provide me with the name or names of the Gun Stores where I can purchase this weapon?
I would like some information on your new pistol ,How much and where can it be purchased.
Does the Heizer Firearm’s Double Tap have a rifled barrel? From the photos it looks like a smooth bore.
Something is wrong with this web site. I am the one who asked about the rifled barrel on March 29th at 5:10PM. How it made it as from being from someone else two weeks earlier is beyond me.
Its a belly gun, you want long distance accuracy? Buy an N frame Smith & Wesson then.
