It depend's on the information that you are looking for. I can tell that, because of barrel length, the ATF is not really sure if it should be classified as a sawed-off shot gun. Dont know this as fact, just heard it somewhere. I can tell you that the mechanic's of operating the machine can be tricky, and painful if not prepared for the recoil. The mechanic's are elegantly simple, but takes practice. First off, the safety is a slide bar though the trigger body, square on the right side, round on the left. To load the peice the safety must be engaged (pushed to the right). Then you will be able slide the release forward, this is the two round button's on either side of the body, the right side having a small, hooked metal plate attached to it. This allow's you to "breech" it, the same as any breech loaded long gun, i.e. push down on the barrel. Then you put the load's in. DO NOT TRY TO BE COOL AND SNAP-SWING IT CLOSED!!! The load's tend to side prtially out and CAN catch wrong, in which case you will have an uncontrolled mis-fire (not a good thing). Ok, so lift the barrel closed and there you go. Reverse the process engaging the safety, while remembering, the refered to small metal plate may sometimes not slide forward fully, so this may have to be done manually. Now the peice is fully fuctionable. Only one barrel fire's at a time. To change barrels, it must be cocked. When cocked, between the trigger body and the hammer is a small toggle that moves right and left. Right toggle fire's left barrel and vice-versa. Use BOTH hand's, I don't care how big your hand's are. Everyone that fire's mine figure out their own way to deal with no trigger guard, but that is also something to pay attention to. All that being said, I love mine, named her the Widowmaker.

A typical starting load for the ball and cap Leinad pistol would be about 15 grains of fffG powder.

This weapon was manufactured by the maker of the MAC10. I have an over-under derringer by FMJ Ducktown, TN. It is a 22cal under and a 410/colt 45 over. Some infomantion is under LEINAD which is Daniel spelled backward. Also COBRAY. JD

NO, not safely anyway. the black powder guns use a much larger barrel pivot pin that their firearm counterparts. to switch from the black powder to accept a 410 barrel you would have to drill out the pivot pin hole on the .410 barrel to accept the larger pin, the black powder barrel support arm is thicker, to account for this....the .410 barrel support arm will become to thin from the drilling making it prone to creak or break.... need anything leinad related? guns, parts, kits, pictures, advice? contact me. xthexheadx@gmail.com
Never heard of it. Need a detalied description of all markings, finish, barrel length, condition. Leinad made several different models of .410/45LC derringers. A five shot pepperbox, single shot pistols, double barrel pistols, and a Model PD which was a two shot revolving pistol.
It is whatever the BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) says it is since they do the legal defining of firearms. Since Cobray did the modification for sale, I suggest that you ask them, since they surely vetted the firearm through the BATF before selling it.
Yes, it is a 410/45LC combo derringer, and runs about $80-$100.
The company is the propery of Sylvia and Wayne Daniels. "Leinad" is his last name spelled backwards. They are currently not producing any and they don't speak about their future plans. YES! Leinad Derringers are still made. I just bought one ( 8/2/2010) They are made under many names ( Leinad, FMJ , Cobray and a few others ) They are available in double and single barrel in .45LC/.410 and .451 black powder. ( barrels are interchangeable between BP and Smokless models BTW. Just check your state and local laws ) They can be bought from Practicaltactical.net or KYimports.com.
