Chiappa 22 Derringer Firing Problems

[cesna250]

Just picked up a derringer and I can't get it to fire. I've tried using some of my cheap Remington from a 500 count box and nothing. Any recommendations?? Not sure if it the ammo or not.

Contact the company. Did you buy it new? If so send it back for warranty repair. I'm sorry to say but it is a cheap gun and you get what you pay for.

no I bought it used. So a gunsmith might be my only option you think?

Chiappa would still fix it if it's a current gun or they have parts, but as for your warranty, yeah you would probably have to pay for them to fix it.

Unless they don't ask if you're the original owner or have a sales receipt, but I think they do

You may never know unless you try. Contact them and ask. I would think that a gunsmith would cost you more than the gun is worth. Myself I would not spend the gas and $25 on a repair for it ymmv.
