I've only got one, a 40-some year old High Standard DM-101 derringer in .22WMR that I inherited from my dad. I still take it out to the range once in a while just to scare people with the noise and muzzle blast that comes out of the little thing. It's accurate enough for what it was intended for, that being killing the cheat on the other side of the poker table. Beyond that, it's not much good. And if you missed someone, odds are you could find them easily -- they'd be the one with their hair singed from the flames!
