The Colt Model 4 Lord Deringer derringer, .22 cal replica of the late 1800's Colt .41 derringer
I have a scraped-up old 1970-73 era Colt Model 4 derringer. It is my lowest level of personal firearms protection as it is so small. It is a single shot .22 caliber derringer I can carry in a wallet sized holster in my back pocket. I carry it in what I would call a "low threat environment," which in my case is when I go for long walks by myself (for exercise) and walk in some isolated spots here and there. I really don't want to carry anything bigger, in this environment, even a small revolver, because I like the discretion with no gun grip sticking up against my shirt. This little pistol is loaded with history, as it is a descendant of the Colt Model 3 .41 caliber derringer, the little derringer known for common use during the last quarter of the 19th century by gamblers, gunfighters (for backup), newspaper editors, to just about anyone seeking an adventure in a town-type environment in the Old West. (This pistol would be almost useless in the wilderness). In this video, I give a run down of the history of the Colt derringers, up through the production of the Model 4. I then run it through the chronograph, and shoot a four round grouping for demonstration.
