    The C.O.P. (Compact Offduty Police) .357 was designed by Robert Hillberg, patented in 1983, and manufactured by COP Inc in California. It's a stainless steel, 4-barrel, .357 Magnum derringer. It's also an awful pistol to shoot. The trigger is one of the worst I've ever felt, recoil is sharp (although much more pleasant with .38 Special ammunition), and the barrels don't really shoot to the same point of aim...which is a bit tricky to find with the sights anyway.
    Naturally, this struck me as a perfect pistol to take to our local Backup Gun Match...and a perfect excuse to break out the headband and sleeveless hoodie!

    I almost bought one of those back in the 80s when I was a cop, but instead settled on a High Standard over/under .22 Magnum derringer, now that was a sweet little shooter, you could hit easily on the 25 yard targets, in fact my partner and I worked out courses sort of like the ones you shoot now for our PD, and just for shits and giggles we would do a course where we used our S&W 66's for six rounds, drop the revolver, grab the little High Standard and fire the 2 rounds as if we needed it to finish off a gun fight. It was a fun little gun, you should get one for your show, they were a blast to say the least, another gun I wish I had hung on to, but oh well.

      Scout makes it seem like empty casings just pop out of 4-barreled pistols, but I never realized how hard it would be to rip them out of a real one. Presumably they expand and contract a little due to the heat, which could really lodge them in there. I'm still not sure if there are any springs or other ejecting mechanism in the one Ian fires.

Then he immediately and inexplicably goes to a hooker so the film can have it's obligatory 80s titty scene. Non-stop synthesizer noodling soundtrack.

    On the extraction, one of the old officer I knew back in the late 1980's had one of these, he made a four dowel rod punch to use. It lined up with the barrels and he could use it to push the spent cases out of the weapon in one push. It was a weapon that he refused to carry. Only used at the range.

    Kind of fun to see these old belly guns shown for what they were. I can recall being a young cop thinking that this gun would make a great backup or off duty weapon. Now that I see how well they don't work, I am glad I stuck to my Colt Trooper MIII till I got my M1911A1. The trooper failed me at the police Academy when the trigger actually broke where the pin held it in the frame and locked up during a training session at the range. I had to send it to a Colt Certified smith, who did a wonderful job of putting a new trigger in, he also threw in a very nice trigger job on the revolver and made a great shooter out of it for me. I carried it for a very long time till a fellow talked me out of it. I had it fixed with Pacmeyer Rubber grips and carried speed loaders for the weapon on duty. Later in life I came up with a nice .38 special Dimond Back by Colt and learned what a real SMOOOOOth trigger pull was all about. Wish I had that little gun back again, I can't even recall who talked me out of her.

      That was my first thought, but these matches have very strict rules about flagging, and I bet using a UUS would have resulted in a DQ.
      If not, though, then (while planning for the match) he should have glued 4 dowel rods at the right spots in a pocket-sized block of wood so that he could just drop it down the muzzle and punch out all 4 cases at once. Of course, literally everything about this gun is horrible, so I don't really see the point in doing all that work to mildly improve one minor aspect.

Anyway, for all of the gravitas, and remarkable quality this channel brings us, I do enjoy seeing Ian's sense of humor sprinkled in (like the Huot conversion infomercial). Given his vast collection of hats, and other historical garb, maybe a brief parody to the effect of "This decade in firearms" would be a fun occasional aside?
