Derringers. What Do You Own?
Here is mine. An American Weapons Company (Made in W Germany.) Bought, thanks to a link by @Sam06. .38 Special.
It lives by my right hand, in the Jeep, should someone decide to run up on me.
What do you have?
Pics Please.

This fine piece of work. A Cobray Model D Caliber 45. It shoots 410 shells, and is supposed to shoot 45 Colt. I have not had the courage try a 45 Colt round in it.
Wow! I'd let Mikey shoot it first! First time I shot my NAA I split a thumb nail.

Before I got it, we were shooting 410 with the 3 000? buck in it. We were shooting at a milk jug full of water sitting on a fence post @ about 35-40 feet. None of the three of us could hit the jug, trigger pull is about 25# it feels like. I was forced to take this thing. I was making a trade for a 3" model 13 Smith, and the guy said I had to take this thing if I wanted the Smif.

Probably body size hits, at 10' or so, (or less.) which is what they are designed for.
Just sayin'.

That's what I figure. At 2'-5' I don't think some dude wants to get hit in the melon with one of those triple ought rounds.

State Trooper Mark Coates of South Carolina made a traffic stop, 20 years ago, wound up in a shootout. The bad guy had a NAA Mini, he made a fluke shot that hit the trooper in the armpit, missed the vest, and Trooper Coates died on the scene. The .22 is a vicious man-killer.

I remember that. The trooper put a cylinderful of .357 Magnum Silvertips into the guy's torso. The trooper died, the bad guy survived. There used to be a video of it on YouTube. The assailant weighed over 400 lbs and the Silvertips did not penetrate enough to do fatal damage.
As far as derringers, I have a Cobra C32 in .32 ACP that I have put 450 rounds through- probably more than any .32 Cobra has ever been shot. It started out with a 25# trigger pull but it suddenly dropped to about 1 or 2# after hundreds of rounds. It shot about a foot high at 10 yards with no discernible grouping ability. It now misfires most of the time so it has been retired and tossed to the back of the safe.

A Bond in 357.
For it’s size, it is a handful.

Recently picked up two at an online auction of area sporting goods store liquidation - a Bond Arms defender and a Bond Arms 2nd Amendment. Both in 357/38. The 2nd Amendment is a bit larger framed.

About the only thing I use it for is along on a dove hunt to dispatch a wayward dove
