I am looking for a concealable .38 / .32 / 380 / or 9mm derringer.
(I'm not sure if they make them in the last two calibers.)
How safe are derringers?
I am assuming that they must be carried in a half-cocked position and with the cross-bolt safety engaged.
If i forget to engage the cross-bolt safety, and it is in the half-cocked position, can the gun still fire if i accidentally pull the trigger? Also, in the same scenario, can this gun accidentally fire if dropped?
Please give manufacturer and model recommendations.
Feel free to state pros and cons of derringers.
