I suspect that the answer is 'didn't want to'! I have seen several nice-looking Darne guns (only in photos, I've never handled one) but the relatively cumbersome opening/reloading process would not suit the fast action of driven shooting.

The 'relatively cumbersome opening/reloading process' is an assumption on my part, and I'm willing to be proved wrong.

I've owned one and played with quite a few others. Agree that they would not be my choice for driven shooting, especially not if the action is pretty fast.
