Guns for self defense part Two
High standard made a very compact 2 bbl derringer about 20 years ago in 22LR & Mag.
Several of my compatriots carried them as last ditch back-ups. It had a unique double action trigger that auto-rotated between the barrels.
Check Guns America, they have several listed (with pics) at good prices. This is exactly what you want.

Guns for self defense part Two
True confessions time.
Maybe it has to do with my size, but when I was packing iron for a living my favorite off duty guns were a S&W 1955 Target, a Smith&Wesson 1950 Army and a rebuilt (by your truly of course) Smith&Wesson 1917.
All, of course, were chambered in 45 ACP and fed with full moon or 1/3 moon clips.
I packed them in an out of print DeSantis cross-draw in-the-belt rig. In winter months I wore a vest and in summer a short sleeved shirt with the tails out concealed it quite well.
It was so effective the the only way my wife could tell if I was packing was to pat me down, and so comfortable that I would forget to take it off while I was mowing the lawn.
But that also may have had something to do with the fact that I had arrested people in my own front yard.
I am mostly glad those days are over.

Yooper.... I was on the phone the other day with a guy at the service department at S&W. The subject of Air Lite 357's came up.
He said if you carry 357's in it instead of 38's and a someone with a stick attacks you, check out the size of the stick before you shoot.
If it is a small stick, take the beating, it will hurt less than shooting that thing.
BTW... you might be surprised at how easy it is to completely miss a human sized target at 15 feet under stressful conditions.

Haven't bought one, but I looked at 'em and read a review.
At first glance I thought the long jump the 45 Colt loads would have to make to get to the barrel would adversely affect the accuracy, but the test I have read indicated it has better than average accuracy.
The same reports indicated the 410 patterns were best regulated to very short range use. It was very effective at personal defense distances, but not something you would take bird hunting.
The author was not able to test the 410 buckshot loads due the the fact he couldn't find any. It might have added an interesting facet to the testing.
