The current crop of ultra-light polymer-framed .32s and .380s with double action only trigger mechanisms are also very hard to hit anything with. There is a more effective alternative available.

Where the heck does this guy get his info? Has anyone ever even made a polymer-framed .32? I've certainly never heard of one, let alone a "crop" of them. The only .32 on the market today I'm aware of is the Beretta Tomcat, which is aluminum-framed and double-action/single-action (and probably a much better pocket gun than this derringer, despite the shortcomings of .32).

Also, there are plenty of .380 mouse guns out there with single-action or striker-fire triggers, like the Glock 42, Kimber Micro, or Sig P238. The Sig is only a half-inch longer and has the same height, width, and weight as the Derringer, but you get 7 rounds of .380 instead of 2 rounds of .45 Colt. If you want .45, you can go an inch larger and get a S&W Shield in .45 Auto, which is considerably more powerful than .45 Colt and you get 7 or 8 of them instead of 2.

The Derringer may be a neat pistol, but the article is bunk.
