Thanks, Mott. I thought everyone was ignoring me!
Agreed for the most part. I personally would not consider a derringer a satisfactory weapon at anything more that a couple yards. I much prefer a longer barrel and sight radius. Also whyThat's a pretty big stretch. If one or two shots are all you'll ever need in "99 % of instances", then I suppose a 2-shot Derringer would suffice almost all of the time.
The gun is capable. Is the shooter? Do you think Jerry Miculek would have a problem?

Small Arc flashlight on key ring - use it about once a week.
Leatherman Skeletool and bit kit - use it about every other day or so.
Leatherman Squirt - use it a couple times a week.
Spyderco Endura Wave - use it daily to open boxes, etc.
Streamlight PT1AA - use it ever day.

You know what? I see this argument all the time, and on the surface it makes sense.But if it happens that you have to reckon with more than one adversary (and don't count on them returning fire with a "spray and pray style"-not all crooks are cowardly and stupid), you might be better armed having a high-capacity, reliable semi-auto in your hand with a spare magazine at your disposal.
