My grandfather who died 40 years ago at 96 was a gunsmith. He made a 410 over under pistol that was pretty mean. Wish I had in now.

It's never too late:

Bond Arms in Texas makes a series of these double-barreled derringers. The majority are in .45 Colt Long / .410 and all use the same frame and design with a top-hinged swing to reload. This is actually one of the larger models with a 4 inch barrel - most have 3 or 3 1/2 inch barrels, and are available in a variety of chamberings such as .22 Long Rifle, .357 Magnum, 10mm and more. A nice-looking chunk of stainless steel overall.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Just as a passing comment to yours, There used to be a .45 long colt derringer on the market. One day, while listening to the news, I heard that one of the officers in our area had been shot during a traffic stop. They caught the perp and it turned out he shot the cop with a .45 derringer!

BTW, he(the perp)didn't have a CCW!

Taurus Judge is the #1 player in that game (5 rounds in 45 colt/.410). Nice guns, but a little large for summertime concealed carry. Taurus makes very good (not excellent) quality guns at affordable prices (lifetime warranties). Not everyone can afford sig, colt, kimber, et al.

I looked it up, this is a gotta get one soon item. It’s what I call a crowd pleaser. Use say, number 2 steel shot.

My most honest advice when one of those derringers is requested: don’t. It is heavier, larger, and more expensive than a lightweight .38 from S&W or Taurus. It is also innaccurate.
