Yep. I've owned several over the years myself. Derringers had their place in the 19th century, but will likely get you killed in a 21st century gun fight. Exposed triggers, half cock safeties, single action mechanism, and 2-round capacity are simply unacceptable for self defense these days. There's far better 21st century hardware out there for the same price.

A derringer is better than nothing but certainly not my first or even 25th choice.
