I'm not sure I want a gun where if I index my finger along the trigger guard it might cover the muzzle.

Look at it this way: you would probably only do it once.

Well, sort of.  http://www.amderringer.com/lms.html is as close as I'm probably going to come, and it's a 2 month wait while they bang on hammers to make the metal look more like a pistol than a brick.  I've not seen one in the fancy auctions recently, so the real ones are probably sitting in someone's safe.

stay safe.

I don't think they've updated their website in a decade.  All items are "price on request".
A couple of years ago I actually checked with them on the price. They quoted $3500.

Make it in .45LC/.410, and I might be interested.....  :cool:

Well, we couldn't call it a judge, or even a paralegal. Should we call it The Stenographer?

“Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth,” Hemingway once said. Today, many of us have become rich in the currency of cowardice. We have so many things and so few experiences. We are desperate to live as long as possible, not as large as possible. We are so afraid to say goodbye to the world that we never say hello.

Ooh, titanium!  This actually looks kind of interesting.  I wonder if it will ever make it to production.

Yeah, it got my attention too.  I need one like I need a hole in my finger.

From the auction listing: 
Quote
THIS GUN COMES IN THE ORIGINAL BOX WITH THE FACTORY MANUEL,


Does he come with his own Green Card?  If not, someone could get in trouble after winning him and the gun.

stay safe.

Hey, I have something similar to this in my safe: the DA38 as made by American Derringer.  It has a very low round count.  Primarily since every time I fired it, I would open my eyes and peek at my hand to see if all the fingers were still there, or if I was spouting arterial blood.

About the fifth Google hit on "DA38 as made by American Derringer" is a THR thread on Why do derringers suck so bad?". ;/ ;/

Can you get the muzzle-to-back-of-grips down to 2 1/2 inches with that?

Need something that slips into a vest pocket - and you know the vests I mean.

stay safe.

Yes BUT the projectile WILL protrude out of the barrel just a tad...
How about one of these perhaps?



or perhaps this?
