I'm looking for a .38 derringer (or 9mm if they make it) that is...
1. Of good rugged quality...
2. That is drop safe
3. having a safety is a plus..
4. that is flat and concealable for pocket carry
5 It must be considerably smaller than a j-frame
Yes... i realize the need for more rounds... i was thinking of using the derringer as a "get off me" gun...that would buy me more time on drawing my larger IWB gun (Kahr PM9).
So....this is not a "derringer vs. other guns" question. Yes, of course i plan on carrying something more significant. But i want a super reliable, major caliber, pocket gun that would buy me time to be able to access my "primary weapon".
There are times when i would like to have my hand on the weapon when approached by questionable characters. So pocket carry sounds good, but snub nose pocket carry is like carrying a grapefruit in the pocket. An LCP in the pocket is great....but not sure if i want to rely on a small pocket auto...may not go "bang" when needed.
