.380 Pirate Pistol

I just bought one, and I love it. The case is beautiful . Both the gun and case are well made.

This is amazing, absolutely beautiful craftsmanship, and a pleasure to shoot. Definitely thrilled to get it. Thanks Drew and all the great guys at Tippmann.

It is by far my favorite waste of money. Great conversation piece and a hoot to shoot especially suppressed.

Words cannot describe how cool this thing is truly, from the pirate esthetic to the slam fire feature this thing is a blast! Always get questions about it and people wondering where they can get it, well that would be here!! Pro tip, there are a couple of sites that make trumpet style ends (like the loudencer from KAK) that truly add that tad bit extra to the gun and give you a true pistol ready to sail the 7 lanes in your old pickup on an interstate near you.

I just wanted to leave a comment to commend you on this beautiful piece of work! I think this is a fine example of work and I wish you well with your sales. You can delete this comment if you choose; I just wanted to wish you well with the product and try get this out to more people. Besides the beauty of the product, I think it would be an excellent home defense weapon.

I ordered my Pirate Pistol on March 30th, 2026, & it arrived at my FFL on June 16th, 2026 (FYI there was no prior notice from Tippmann Ordnance that the handgun was shipped). ...If you're having issues loading ammo into the tube, use Flat-nose 100gr ammo; I found loading Round-nose 95gr ammo to be very finnicky. Also, keep an eye on your rear iron sight, because mine immediately flew off after the 5th shot, & when I went to reattach it, the single screw that holds it in place is extremely small, & has tiny threads on it, which I immediately stripped (IMO the rear mounting system for the iron sight is the weakest aspect of the handguns' design). Other than the weak iron sight screw, it's a fun "range toy." I've had no malfunctions with it, as it's a very streamlined design. ...However, you do need to watch your hand placement when pumping the tube, as it's possible to pinch the meat on your hand between the walnut grip & the metal parts. It is very well built, & extremely pretty in person. I haven't shot it suppressed yet, mainly because it doesn't have suppressor height sights which needs an update, considering it comes 1/2-28 threaded. I chronographed the two .380ACP cartridges that I have on hand from Palmetto State Armory out of its' 10" barrel... 95gr PSA FMJ going 1,200fps 100gr PSA FMJ going 1,185fps Overall, the Pirate Pistol is a neat range toy, you won't find anything else like it, so if you're interested, I'd say go ahead & order one. My only gripe with the Pirate Pistol is due to the iron sights: they're not high enough to see over a suppressor, & the rear sight's mounting system immediately came loose & needs a redesign IMO. 4 stars only because of the very "meh" iron sighs.

This gun shot very well at the range I shot 100 rounds of Buffalo Boar +P hard cast rounds though I would advise giving it some oil first inside the hammer parts , the trigger and a little bit in the slide action. It would be great to replace the rear sight with a add-on 2 inch Picatinny rail so someone could put a red dot on it or have the option to upgrade it with Night Sights and hopefully someone will design a leather holsters for it
