Yesterday the derringer had a place because standard handguns were very large. Today with the introduction of the small autos built of composit materials, the derringer has all but lost its place in self defense.

Before you buy a derringer find someone that has a KetTec 380 and shoot it, then find a derringer and shoot it. You will be very suprised, I was.
Best,
Ed

I have a 357/38 Derringer I bought in about 1994. It's an American Derringer & seems to be of good quality. I have not shot it in over 10 yrs & would take a little J frame over one any day. I'll still keep mine though.
