Honestly, after several years of looking at derringers and some of the
absurd calibers they come in, I find it hard to fault the choice of any
lightweight J frame. The more serious calibers are often as wide and
nearly
as long and always weigh more. Mine hides very well and while reloading
isn't really an issue at close range (IMO) reloading a derringer can be a
PITA. I bought some Speed Strips and I can carry the J-Frame and 2 Speed
strips very comfortably. I really only would carry it if the 908 or G-19
was impractical for some reason, though.


I followed the same pattern as you, with one additional step
I moved to the Colt Agent and Cobra snubbies.
They offer one more round than the S&W J-frames for the same weight.
I also find their triggers much better (very personal taste)
