derringertype
Derringertype is a term that refers to a specific style of revolver, often associated with the Philadelphia Deringer company. While Deringer is famously known for its single-shot pistols, the term "derringertype" has also been applied to small, concealable revolvers that emerged later. These revolvers typically featured a compact frame, often with a short barrel, making them easy to hide. They were usually chambered in relatively small calibers, such as .22, .32, or .38, prioritizing portability over stopping power.
The design of these revolvers often mirrored some of the aesthetic elements found in early Deringer pistols,
