If it popped out of your sleeve like in the film Taxi Driver with De Niro?Not as daft as it sounds.
The Derringer has an 'effective' range of (up to) 8m.
Most 'close protection' incidents are 4-7m.
Could never understand why we had to classify at distances up to 25m? Unless of course you are running away?
Django unchained - if you've never seen it you HAVE to watch it.
I prefer the modern version.
Slightly larger but I used to have a Walther TPH (when we were allowed to have pistols for target shooting,I shot a little .25 acp semi auto Baby Browning in the US, little or no recoil and I was surprised by the hit on the sand at 25m. For something so tiny (known as the Mouse Gun) it would really sting!

Yes, because I left itAh but it made the world, or at least the UK, a safer place didn't it?
A couple of Londonstan guys in our club did the same and for the same reason - brought all their toys with them of course.
Walking into a Police station and having to hand over what meant a lot to me was just a pill I could not swallow.A couple of Londonstan guys in our club did the same and for the same reason - brought all their toys with them of course.
Indeed. I cannot imagine such a travesty. I well remember speaking to an RFD quite a few years ago in the North East who had to hand in over a dozen of his pistols - the night before he put a half-inch drill down each one. Good man!
The COP 357 . I fired one that belonged to a late friend many moons ago . It was surprisingly heavy , and so was the trigger . It wasn't that bad recoil wise , but it would definitely do the job up close .I prefer the modern version.
4 x .357 Magnums.
Must have been as painful to fire as to be hit by.
I had a number of Walthers over the years myself , I still have a war time issue PPK in 32 ACP , still my favourite pocket auto . Like you , I always wanted a P38 Kurz but never got the opportunity to buy one , I regret that one too .Slightly larger but I used to have a Walther TPH (when we were allowed to have pistols for target shooting,
Lovely gun - like someone chucked a PPK in the washing machine and it came out shrunk.View attachment 301115
That was back when I was majoring in Walthers. The .22LR TPH, a PPK in .380, a PP Sport in 22LR (with mod), a brace of PP Supers in 9x18, a P5 Compact. Ah, nostalgia!
I still regret not buying a P38K snubbie.
Never saw one with a flash eliminator on though (a la Napoleon Solo's gun from the Man from Uncle).
9mm Kurz? I have just been given a pile of this Geco ammo from a deceased local hunter steel magnetic jacketed.
