California derringer James curtin, my father and the owner of California derringer passed away unexpectedly. He was a stand up Guy and was not a scam. All refunds have been addressed and the person who wrote the negative post below doesn't know anything about how this business was run. Tarnishing a good mans name and business with a faulce post is just bad form. Shame on you!

Jim I'm with Elite Armory and we sat right behind Jim at every Vallejo Gun Show for the past year or two. We are VERY SORRY to hear this terrible news. He was a great guy, super funny with new stories at every show, honest and a stand up guy! We just got done with the Vallejo show and was wondering where he was, I came home to look for him on the internet and am shoked and sad to find this out. Condolences to his family and friends...

James Curtin has shown off himself recently at almost Gun Shows in B... read more
