Back up pocket guns

Nighthawk
Anyone carry a pocket derringer as a back up weapon? I carry a .38 derringer in my front pocket in a holster custom made for the gun.It actually shoots quite well at reasonable distances.

Edited: for spelling

    I used to carry a .22 mag derringer, but now if I'm carrying an extra, or for some reason just carrying small, I carry a Beretta 21A in .22

    Not really much good for anything more than putting into someones belly, but better than nothing.

    Tomcat three. Stainless, with pretty Rosewood grips. I carry it by itself on Sundays.
    I told my wife I bought it for her.

    I don't carry a "backup"...I do carry two extra mags....

    IMHO, those small caliber(sp?), tiny guns are useless

    Sometimes I carry a Hi Standard derringer in .22 mag.
    I hear it "is no good, has no knock down power, wouldn't hurt a flea, blah blah blah."

    There was a thread on here where a state trooper shot it out with a guy, the trooper shot the bad guy four times in the torso, he lived.
    The bad guy got the trooper once with a .22 NAA, graveyard dead trooper. Trooper was wearing a vest, too.

    Autuaga .32. Vastly underappreciated and almost as small as a Seecamp at 1/4 the price.

    I also carry a NAA .22LR on ocasion I keep it loaded with rat shot. I figure its snake protection, and if I have to use it the best shot would be to the face and eyes of a crook as well. Its surely going to put your eye out. You guys have some nice eye cndy going here, makes me want to buy another handgun Ive been wanting.

    Give me a true DAO any time. Like Hick and Dr. J

    The whole rig slips into a back pocket [with holster] but needs a jacket to cover it.

    Beretta 21A..dot the bad guys eye & never bother drawing it out ; old sports coats with a button pocket for ' traffic stops'( requires a warrant to peek), are cheap & pretend your a digging out your wallet .SURPRISE💥💥

    Holy cow! Talk about your Sunday resurrections. I think this threads been on here longer than I have!

    Welcome to the zoo, StElmo. We have a place near the top of the General Discussion page where you can introduce yourself, if you'd be so inclined.
