Derringer is a colloquial term used to refer to any small, concealable handgun.


Brief history of the name Derringer

The Derringer name has its roots in Philadelphia gunsmith Henry Deringer (1786–1868). The original "Deringer" pistol was a single-shot muzzleloading pistol; with the advent of cartridge firearms, the term was used to refer to any small pocket pistol. The most famous Derringer design is a small pocket pistol made by Henry Deringer and his company from 1852 until 1868. This pistol was widely copied by other gun makers, leading to the generic use of the name. The Remington-Elliot Derringer of the 1870s and 1880s is a well-known example of the type. Today, the term "Derringer" is often used generically to refer to any small-sized handgun that is neither a revolver nor a semiautomatic pistol.
