So I was thinking a pocket pistol as a backup gun to my S&W 642 38 Special 5-hole revolver. BTW, this is for future preparedness as I don't currently carry. I also have a S&W 686 Plus 7-hole 357 Magnum that I can carry. But then I got to thinking a Derringer would be a great backup gun.
I really like the Double Tap as it has the spare rounds in the handle, but I also want a 45 caliber and am told that it is a bear to shoot. I would also want to fire it at the range some, probably need a heavy glove to protect the hand. But the idea of the 45 caliber is as the last resort, and this would likely be up real close, a 45 should be a pretty good stopper. Of course all these Derringers are single action.
I hear the Bond Arms 45 caliber Derringer is much easier to fire (less impact on the hand) than the Double Tap.
