In the second half of the 1800 there was a great diffusion of small pistols, known as “Derringer” since the appearance of the muzzle loading models. 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 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 primes. 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).
