Design and Unique Firing Mechanism

The AMERICAN DERRINGER CORPORATION FRONTIER FOUR is built around a rotating firing pin system: every time the hammer is cocked, the pin indexes to a different barrel. That rotating-firing-pin architecture provides a predictable, reliable pattern of barrel selection and can help distribute wear across barrels. As a Single Shot category piece reimagined in a multi-barrel derringer form, it blends old-school compactness with an innovative trigger/hammer interaction suited to close-range defensive roles.

Craftsmanship and Heritage

Made by American Derringer Corporation and listed under Single Shot products, this model is offered in various configurations (Model: Various) and commands a premium price of $3,999.99. The package includes an artisanal element rarely found on defensive pistols: a custom silver and turquoise belt buckle by Ben Yazzie, the legendary Navajo silversmith, which underscores the collector appeal and the craftsmanship focus of this release.

Practical Use and Considerations

Operators should evaluate the FRONTIER FOUR for purpose-driven carry: it’s ideal as an ultra-compact backup firearm, a personal-defense spare, or a collectible defensive tool with functional value. The rotating firing pin gives mechanical redundancy and a distinctive trigger cycle to master at the range. Given the price point, buyers should consider both practical carry needs and collectible value when making a purchase decision.
