Bond Arms Derringers?

[Taylor13]

Looking at some of their little derringers, and the bigger ones look cool too. Anyone have these?

[CruiserClass]

No, I've never tried a Derringer style pistol that I would use for anything other than a conversation peice. In addition to all the obvious limitations, the triggers usually suck.

[Taylor13]

I'd probably stick it on as a pocket gun later in life if I couldn't access my normal conceal carry gun... and maybe for some fun at the range y'know?

A four or five hundred dollar two shot pistol?

I'll take any Glock 22 or 27 for the same price.

Derringer is a great gun if you want something to put in your purse for a night out on the town.

The 45LC/410 guns are significant if you use the .410 buckshot loads made for the guns that engage the rifling and don't spin away in a shot cup.

[Dingo990]

I don't trust .410 buckshot from a 2 inch barrel to be able to stop anything.

Only time I would carry a derringer is as backup to something. And as someone else pointed out, there are better options for that.

442 Smith & Wesson makes a better back up IMO.

I was reading up on the High Standard derringers...they of any of them make the most sense because they are actually small, and you can fire two shots without having to cock the gun. They were actually issued back in the day as a backup by some State LE agency.

Many of the other offerings are larger/heavier than a small semi auto, only offer two shots, each of them requiring cocking a hammer first, and they typically are not nearly as nicely mfg as say a NAA mini revolver.
