No offense to anyone's carry gun as I support carrying!!
However, when it comes to derringers, they are best for cowboy action shooting.
The ones is significant calibers - 38s, 9mms and greater are as big as a Taurus or SW snubby which give you more shots and IMHO are easier to shoot.
The smaller ones by Davis, Cobra or whatever they are called, do have a size advantage but aren't well respected. The little 32 ACP is a neat BUG and I've seen it easily concealed but is it bette than the little 32 semis? I don't think so.
Three companies make the bigger guns now - IAR, Bond, American Derringer (although I did read they were in trouble). But, I still say you can do better with more rounds.
However, if it works, it works but it isn't an optimal tactical solution.
