    Years ago my aunt's husband attacked her with a knife and she shot and killed him with a Hi Standard 22lr "derringer". That gun is still in the family and I've shot it....kind of weird holding & shooting it knowings it's history.

      My Mother-in-law before she passed at 79 carried 71/2 on top and #4 on the bottom and a cane in the other hand. Walked the gravel road a the farm by herself and killed many a snake ( all kinds ) and one Beefmaster bull in the *****.
      Said it was the best gun she ever had.

      She never shot a person or at least that she told us about.

        A guy that works in a pawn shop near me carriers a derringer in his back pocket. Don't think he has ever had to use it.

                Sure that was Jacob, or John Benard Books?

                  I carry a NAA 22lr, its my go to gun to dispatch racoons caught in one of my duke traps because that's what I've got on me at the time. I'm pretty accurate with it out to 2Oyds. Its also taken a few copperheads in the yard. Had a 9' alligator come right up to me while wade fishing a reef, I got up on a knee deep ridge keeping him in 3' of water, half mile from shore. Put a mirror lurer on and started pounding him in the eyes until he bit my rod in two. Using just 3/4ths of the rod to whip hip him I remembered the 22lr NAA in my vest pocket. Don't know if it was a kill shot or not but he went under and quit coming at me. Wasn't a full blown attack charge, he just kept coming right up to me and I was running out of ridge.

                        I know a man, deceased now, that used to manage convenient stores that killed a man with a high Standard .22 mag. derringer. He stopped him coming out of the store at 11:00 with the money bag. They used to close at that time. He gave him the money bag but then the guy asked for his billfold and referred to him as fat boy. He had the derringer in a Jack *** holster that looked like a wallet. He shot him twice in the chest at 3' and he fell straight down on his feet, dead instantly.

                          To answer the OP question, no I do not.

                          But I own an Inherited Hi Standard 9 shot .22 revolver that was stolen from Kenlees gun store in South Houston that was stolen, then recovered and later found to have committed a murder.

                          The gun was given back to Kenlees, put up for sale, and my Grandfather bought it.

                              Lol Yeah that guy is.....well....I don't know what he is actually. He's a strange ranger and that's putting it mildly. That .410 at point blank range didn't blow his leg off or nothin surprisingly. It didn't do him any favors though neither.

                              Ol' Hopalong Dingerdong is what I like to call him....not to face.....but that's what I call him. If I see him and have to talk to him in person I just call him Sir. Because he's crazy.
