Since
1852 the Derringer Pistol has been a favorite conceal carry choice
of gun men and law men alike. It was created by famed gunsmith
Henry Deringer and instantly became a hit from the years he produced
it 1852 - 1868. The Derringer Pistol was such a hit that it produced
a host copy cat designs who dubbed theirs the "Derringer"
adding another "r" to the name of the pistol (so named
off it's creator Henry Deringer) but basically using the same
exact design. So many companies copied the design that the the
"double r " name for this poplar pistol stuck over time.
Today the Derringer line of pistols is still being made by a host
of companies and the basic design has remained the same with some
minor changes in barrel length, chambering ranging from .22 cal
all the way up to the big bore Derringers in .38 Special, 9mm
and even the .357 Magnum
