Does anyone here have a Derringer or fired one?

Have 3 guns. 2 for the home and one I carry in the car. Just got my concealed weapons permit and trying to decide on whether I should purchase and carry another 22 or a Derringer. Not looking to carry a heavy gun and I don't like pistols. I prefer revolvers.
Anyone ever own a Derringer or fired one? What do you think of the gun?
Would you think a Derringer is a little more powerful than a 22 or no? Looking for serious opinions.TIA

Loud doesn't bother me. My 22 is loud.

I have a cop II that my grandpa gave me.
Not very accurate but 4 separate firing pins so I'm gonna get a shot off.

Well, yes. At the very least a .38. How concealed are you looking for?

Thinking the Derringer is for up close range. What about the kick on it?

Something to carry in my purse. Not looking to carry a 9mm or similar. Something light.

A revolver is a pistol
I wouldn’t get a derringer. Too complicated
If you like revolvers and don’t want a heavy gun go buy an airweight .38 S&W

What caliber is a derringer? How many options? Anything bigger than a 22 is going to come alive in your hand. A .380 ACP is an angry little bastard when shot, a derringer would be worse.

When I think of pistols, I think of the 9mm, 45, etc.

I'm about to retire having my go to .45 auto under my seat to a Keltec .22 auto mag. It's
not ultra small but it is a great deal smaller than the .45. I'm a big proponent of the damage a 22 mag hollow point can do.
Good luck, be safe.

Not worth a crap, even as a BUG.
A knife is better, if they're that close.

Hi-Standard made or may still make a derringer in .22 Magnum. It was trim and featured a nice long trigger pull. (no safety). Used to keep one in my boot if going to New Orleans.

It may be.
Does your peen not do the job and wait for something bigger to complete the task?

If I am reading you right, the Magnum is the one I am looking at.

You're going to kill yourself digging around in your purse with a derringer in there, toots.
