Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Perplex Model 2 is a compact and uncommon derringer-style signaling device produced in Germany, designed specifically for firing 12mm flare cartridges rather than conventional ammunition. Built with a break-action, over-under two-barrel configuration, it allows the user to fire two flares in quick succession, making it especially practical for emergency signaling in maritime, aviation, or outdoor survival situations. The design is typically simple and robust, often featuring a steel or alloy frame paired with utilitarian grips—sometimes plastic or checkered composite—reflecting its intended role as a functional safety tool rather than a defensive firearm. A manually operated hammer and basic trigger system provide straightforward operation, while a latch mechanism allows the barrels to pivot open for loading and unloading spent flare casings. German-made flare guns like this were often proofed and marked according to local standards, and many examples bear proof marks that help date their manufacture and verify their origin. The 12mm flare cartridge itself is widely used across Europe, offering bright, visible signals for distress or communication over long distances, particularly in low-light conditions. Because of its small size and dual-shot capability, the Perplex Model 2 stands out among flare pistols, combining portability with a degree of redundancy not found in single-shot designs. Today, it is of interest to collectors of signaling devices and unusual firearms, appreciated both for its practical design and its niche place within German industrial production of safety and signaling equipment.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3-day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
