Key Features
- Double-barrel break-action design — Why it matters: This classic derringer action lets you load two rounds quickly and safely, with a cross-bolt manual safety for added peace of mind when carrying or storing.
- Extended rosewood grip with Texas outline — Why it matters: The larger grip improves control and comfort for shooters with larger hands, while the engraved Texas star and outline add a touch of personal style.
- Automatic spent casing extractor — Why it matters: After firing, the extractor lifts both spent casings at once, making reloading faster and reducing fumbling—especially useful for beginners or in high-stress situations.
- Fixed sights — Why it matters: No adjustments needed. The front blade and rear notch are simple to align, helping you get on target quickly without fussing with tools or settings.
- Stainless steel construction — Why it matters: Resists rust and corrosion from sweat, rain, or humid conditions, so this derringer stays reliable whether you carry it in a pocket, purse, or on a belt holster.
