That might not be to uncomfortable to shoot actually... I shot one of those "normal" derringers in 9mm and it felt like getting punched in the hand! Neat design.

So they split a COP .357 in half?

I can't begin to say how much I would not want/own that pistol.

With all the good, tiny, semi-auto pistols out there, that you don't have to grab a very short barrel to load (friend of mine blew off part of his hand when the derringer he was working on -- gunsmith -- went off), why have a gun which requires you to put your hand near (and possibly over) the muzzle when loading it?

I'd take any of the .380 semi-autos first.

But, different opinions is why they make different guns.

Why was he working on a loaded firearm?? Is he ok now?

have you seen the price on those? too salty for me......if i wanted to spend that kind of money id prolly get a Bond Arms and buy an extra barrel for it.

Shooting it after working on it. The basic design forces part(s) of your hand to be very close to the muzzle when operating the firearm.

Just seems to me that there are so many options, and better options, for a small carry gun.

Personally, I'd much rather have an LCP or other tiny .380 stoked with good ammo.

Yeah, he's fine, if you count missing fingers and part of a hand.
