The SS-1 is a compact four-barrel derringer engineered to sequentially fire one chamber per trigger pull using a rotating striker. Its break-open, tip-up design with manual extractor makes loading and unloading straightforward. The action is double-action-only with a wide oval trigger, and the hammerless layout keeps the profile clean and snag-resistant.
Constructed entirely of stainless steel with a brushed finish, this model features a 3.25 in barrel cluster and a 4-round capacity. Unloaded weight is approximately 1.75 lb, giving it a solid, durable feel in a compact form factor.
Chambered for .357 Magnum and also accepting .38 Special, the SS-1 provides flexibility in ammunition choice. Sighting is simple and durable: a fixed front blade paired with a rear notch that is integrated into the top latch.
Markings reflect original COP Inc. manufacture in Torrance, California, U.S.A., with caliber designation on the gun. As an all-stainless, 1980s-era piece with distinctive engineering, it has strong collectible appeal, especially with the included original box and manual.
