It’s a nice novelty item.

That is all that it is unfortunately. Now I am stuck with an expensive paperweight. It did fire both barrels without issue but no amount of effort, short of using pliers, would remove the casings.

Mine has the satin nickel finish but that is the one...

Sorry to hear about your bad experience, I hope you don't have a lot of money in it.
If derringers happen to be your thing, have a look at Bond Arms:

They are notorious junk. As bad as Raven etc.

Bond Arms makes the good stuff. They ARE a little too proud of them, though.

I’m just curious, as I’ve been out of the industry for a while now - why didn’t your dealer handle this for you? Should take but a brief moment for the dealer’s gunsmith to isolate the issue and have a replacement part shipped. There’s not a lot of hardware in that gun.
I would never have imagined telling a customer ‘eh, your problem, you mail it back to the manufacturer for repair.’

Around 1990 I bought a North American Arms .22 mini revolver.
It was a beauty and fired just fine but all the bullets keyholed. When I got ready to clean it, I realized the rifling did not quite go all the way to the muzzle. Maybe the last 1/10 inch was not rifled.
My dealer returned it to them and they fixed it with no problem but I can’t believe it got out of the factory like that.

Derringers not my style regardless of mfr, but curious...did you try poking them out thru the muzzle as with a cleaning rod?

I have always had a derringer as a back up piece. Had an old Davis P32 (made in Chino, CA but out of business now) that I carried for years. Wanted to upgrade as to caliber and the 9mm was what I wanted. The Cobra wasn’t cheap but I bought it for around $150. Disappointing but it won’t break me financially.

Ravens were good guns.
They were crude looking and made mostly of pot metal but they were reliable and accurate.
Same for Jennings.

How much did you spend on the purchase, if I might ask? I was just wondering how much you thought your life was worth. I'm not being derisive, but as an NRA certified Instructor for these last 25+ years, I'm continually surprised by peoples self defense decision making processes.

Yes I did to no avail. Had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to remove them.

Something else you might like is an old High Standard derringer. They're around on the used market. They were high quality, made in both .22lr and .22wmr.
I had one in .22wmr once upon a time... wish I still had it. The .22wmr seemed to me to be just fine for the intended use...

Since I bought it through CheaperThanDirt and had it shipped to my FFL I didn’t think that it was his problem. Had it of come from his inventory I would have raised the issue with him. Didn’t seem fair to involve him since all that he did was call NICS.

I bought it for around $150. Please keep in mind that this was only meant as a back up piece. For primary weapons I am a Glock guy.

Sounds like it’s not properly chambered.
