The derringer is much easier to conceal than a revolver. Also, I have never seen a .44 sp shotshell, .44 mag yes, but never a .44 sp. That being said the .410 can also fire slugs and buckshot. I used to carry a .410/.45 derringer under my carseat as an anti-nigger device. One barrel I kept loaded with the buck, the other with a slug.
But a nice .44 revolver can't be beat for serious work. A 1911 in .45 ACP is also a good choice. No need to spray and pray if you can hit what you aim at.
