In the second half of the 1800 there was a great diffusion of small pistols, known as “derringer”. Some were with a simple feature like the grip was usually of the “birds head” type and the trigger of a “spur” type.
Some models were produced in the .177” (4.5 mm) calibre and used for pickling and for indoor shooting. The steel gun shoots only with the #209 primer and # 11 caps, insulated by a closing flange that prevents any metal chips escaping. The Derringer Guardian is equipped with an extractor and ramrod screwed to the base. It is available also into a nice wood case which contains a small box for BB pellets or the primers. The Derringer Guardian pistol is offered also in the “Pearl” version, with the grips pearl-coloured finished. Available the version with the traditional nipple for the #11 caps (S.365).
