Accidents happen. That being said, the man was a fool if a derringer was his primary concealed weapon.

FRiend, I have a Bond Arms SnakeSlayer that holds 2 .410 shells. I can assure you it is totally lethal from normal pistol defense ranges.
While rare, it IS occasionally my primary.

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.
