This is a really neat 50 cal modern BP derringer that the Czechs can buy and carry without a license. Put in your pocket for SD as the video suggests or carry otherwise. Is it optimal? Would I want one for grins - sure.

Only two shots but if you do your duty with this - it should stop the evil in the world.

LOL.
 
A two shot BP derringer is historically sound, but a .50 BP is something else! What next, canister shot?

I don't get the pinky rest "mag" extension. Does it carry extra loads in the grip?

Muzzle loaders are considered “antique” firearms in many jurisdictions, no license required to purchase or possess.

Until you load it, then many treat it as a regular firearm. Wonder if that’s the case in the Czech Republic?
 
I like it; bit of a novelty item, especially for a BP enthusiast. But priced at 600 Euros ($656.28), there's a lot more modern guns I would be interested in before I'd be buying one of those Detonic derringers.
 
After a few round through a CVA 50 cal BP pistol I swore off hand cannons. Thing nearly broke my fingers with a 100gr equivalent and unforgiving trigger guard.
