Description:

Discontinued in 1962, the Dardick pistol uses an internal magazine which feeds a three-round, auto-ejecting cylinder in conjunction with the proprietary "Tround" ammunition. The Trounds consist of .38 caliber bullets, powder, and primer contained in a triangular shaped plastic case. This was a forerunner to a caseless round which H&K eventually developed in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Features a blade front sight, adjustable tangent rear sight, standard markings on the barrel and stamped sheet metal frame, serrated hammer, smooth trigger and checkered grips with the "DC" Dardick logo. In box with Dardick pamphlet, formal opening of the Dardick plant guest program, two copies of "American Rifleman Magazine" with each issue having an article related to Dardick products, original receipt dated "1-31-62," and two original Tround 20 round boxes containing a combined total of 33 live (clear plastic case bodies in one and green in the other) and one dummy cartridge.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, retaining 95% plus of original black finish with scattered handling marks, some flaking mostly on the frame, and crisp grip checkering. The box is fine. Mechanically excellent.
