Why this derringer stands out

Practical considerations and performance

The 3-inch barrel length keeps overall footprint minimal while still offering sufficient velocity for defensive tasks at very short distances. The .45LC/.410 option allows a shooter to use traditional hard-hitting revolver rounds or shotshells for increased terminal effects in extreme close-quarters. The 9mm barrel provides commonality with everyday carry ammunition and affordable practice rounds. Functionally this pistol works excellent, and the excellent condition of metal and grips reduces the likelihood of immediate maintenance needs.

At a listed price of $795.99, this once-fired package — complete with holster and original box — represents a value for collectors or shooters who want a ready-to-run, double-barrel back-up. View product details and pricing
