I have one just like it that I carried clipped to my vest when I was with Dallas PD. Back then one didn't used to have to qualify with a backup gun. That said I have no problem doing body shots at 25 yards with mine...
Beautiful update to your gun General...Bob

Just took a quick look at Gunbroker. I'm surprised at the money folks are asking for those little guns now. I haven't seen many around for a few years, but back then they were 150 - 200 dollar guns. Apparently, they are about double that now.
Of course, there is the difference between what folks ask and what they will take, but still.
Nice job on the refinish, but I'd have been itchy as hell waiting 9 months for my gun to come back.

Our LGS has two for sale that look like new, one blue & one stainless, but they are asking $325 each, which is WAY more than they are worth, to me. I'd buy them, if they were $150 each, in a heartbeat. But for $299, I can buy another Ruger LCP 380, which is a much more efficient BUG, to me. Or even another Ruger SR-22 for $279.

Retired State Trooper friend of mine carried one of those as a BUG many moons ago.

Are you sure that one barrel doesn't shoot lower than the other?

.22 Magnums from these guns will run 1200+ fps... Bob
Bob, That's some serious b'schizzle out of a .22 cal! I bet that baby sounds like you're standing next to a ported .300 WM when it goes off!

Hello Crimson Tide The High Standard Derringers are very High Quality Unlike some of the cheap Derringer's they are making today these High Standard's were made to last that is why they have such a High Retail Price these days. Waiting for High quality was Not a problem I have other guns to carry Ford's do great work on every Gun that they do....TheGeneral

Hi All The Recent Talk about These High Standard Derringer's Prompted me to do some Research on them. Apparently these D-100 & D-101 Model Derringer's were made from 1962 time span up until july 1984 of which was when they made my Gun. The Frame of my Gun is made of aluminum which they used on the later Derringers to cut back cost and over all weight of the gun. Here is a Link that Tell's the History as well as the serial number's of when these fine Little Gun's were made, I hope you enjoy the Reading if you own one it's Cool to know when one was made....I Think Production was halted due to the factory using up existing parts and closing their doors for Business The General http://www.histandard.info/models/derringers.html
