[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 2365813, member: 13337"] Normally I poo-poo the idea of derringers,,, But I've finally seen a great use for one of those thin things. A friend of mine finally got her carry permit,,, She purse carries a Bersa Thunder as her EDC weapon,,, A while back her father-in-law gave her the .38 derringer he carried. In the console of her car is a place meant to hold a cell phone,,, Her derringer fits in there like it was designed for it,,, She can get it out of the pocket very easily. So now she has a weapon "ready at hand",,, To cover it she simply places one Kleenex tissue over it,,, Personally I think it was very astute of her to think of using that slot. No one can tell there is a gun under the tissue,,, In fact it looks like that is the place she places a used tissue until it's disposed of. If I were a burglar I don't think I would look under a snotty tissue,,, I would ransack the glove compartment but not that tissue. Personally I think a derringer is a terrible defense handgun,,, They are so small it almost takes two hands to cock them,,, And the trigger pull on the ones I have fired is atrocious. But they do minimally satisfy the first rule of a gunfight,,, Which is to have a gun. So a derringer is not for me,,, But a NAA mini revolver might be in my future,,, Because I have a cell phone slot in my center console as well. Just a thought,,, Aarond . [/QUOTE]
