Firing a .45 cal derringer must be nasty.

Firing a .45 cal derringer must be nasty.

It's a short range weapon. Think of it as a power knife.

I would think so. I had a 9mm derringer a decade or so back. That thing was bad enough. Very well made but due to the fact that I could not hit the side of a barn, inside the barn from more than about 3 feet, it was not worth owning.
