We have 4 Derringers in the house.
Well, DSW Sharon has 3 & I have One.
I have a Bond Texas Defender in .45Colt/.410ga.
DSW has a Bond Texas Defender in .45 acp.
She doesn't handle the .45Colt well.
I bought her an extra set of brrls. in .38/357magnum.
But she likes the 45acp better.

I like the .45Colt with Silvertips, or 200 gr. Corbons.
I've never really tried the 000 buck in it.
It is a cream-puff, with 250 gr. Cowboy loads at 750/800 fps.
I c'n hit the 8 oval every time at 3 to 7 yrds. with either load,
ST's or Corbons.
Aww, it's a good snake killer with a load of # 6's too.

DSW also has a Davis Derringer in .38special.
And, another in .22 lr. She's had both for many years.
No comparison with the Bond Arms, tho.
