I've just read an article in a firearms magazine extolling the merits of a derringer (.22 magnum or .38 caliber). Two shots, over and under. Wow.
I've known a couple of physician buddies who carry the North American Arms folding revolver, available in .22 magnum:

I don't own one and use other and, IMHO, better carry firearms. However, the above firearm might be suitable for small women or as a backup for a regular carry gun. Personally, I often just slip my Ruger LCP II in my pocket, it's a .380 with six and seven round magazine choices.
Would anyone use the folding pistol? Just a little question. IMO it beats the hell out of a two round derringer!!!!
