Now everyone has an excuse to get into black powder with the Desperado. (Photo: AGC)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

American Gun Craft is happy to announce the Desperado<\/a>, a handgun-style break-action double-barrel muzzle-loaded black powder shotgun with 12- or 20-gauge bores. This follows on their break-action Diablo<\/a> with longer barrels and full-size grips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Desperado is no pocket pistol weighing in at 4 pounds with two 8-inch smooth-bore barrels, but then again, not many people want a featherweight handheld shotgun, not in 20 gauge, let alone in 12 gauge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a black powder design, the Desperado is far less regulated than modern firearms, although it’s slower to reload than even your typical coach gun. Still, that makes this a very appealing and inexpensive-to-shoot shotgun that will be sure to put smiles on faces every time it comes out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While American Gun Craft offers the Diablo with a number of different options, for now, the Desperado is only offered in 12- or 20-gauge with rubber grips and a deep, hand-polished blued finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer sight radius and barrels give the Desperado a bump in accuracy, especially when shooting single ball or slug loads, and the full-size rubber grips will help handle the felt recoil and make it easier to use in general. It has a straight mid-rib with a simple brass bead front sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For controls, the Desperado has a hammer with a half-cock notch, a manual barrel selector, and a pair of latches to unlock the shotgun. It also has an oversized trigger guard for use with gloves and to protect the shooter’s finger when shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Desperado is capable of firing up to 1-ounce loads up to .729 inches with up to 60 grains of FFg black powder or its equivalent using standard #209 primers. American Gun Craft recommends using .740-inch shot cards and wads all of which are easy to find or even make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Desperado uses adjustable and removable primer cups for headspacing ease of maintenance, and American Gun Craft recommends Goex and Pyrodex powders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, the Desperado is an eye-catching conversation starter, and a welcome tool to teach newcomers the basics of shooting black powder, albeit with hopefully light loads. As a muzzleloader, depending on the location, it may also be a handy hunting shotgun, especially for small game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Desperado is priced at $639 in 12-gauge and $659 in 20-gauge. The smaller Diablo starts at $479 and is also offered with black oxide and nickel finishes as well as walnut stocks and grips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether or not you’re already into muzzleloaders the Desperado has a curious appeal and makes a good case for anyone looking to get a new black powder handgun, or specifically, handheld shotgun. For more information head over to the American Gun Craft site<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
