Alot of modern films featuring derringers list the weapon used as this model. Given the obsolescence of .41 rimfire isn't it more likely that recent films use more modern .45 Long Colt derringers? | Alot of modern films featuring derringers list the weapon used as this model.

:Makes sense, but there are still companies loading .41 Derringer ammo. I see it fairly often at good gun stores and gun shows. Besides, how often are they actually fired in films?

I said that because I looked at modern derringers from Bond Arms and Double Eagle Derringer (some of the only companies still making derringers) and all their models are offered in rimfire calibers, .45 LC/.410 gauge, or .357 magnum with the .45/.410 being the most common. The comment about the .41 RF was more about guns chambered in that caliber rather than the cartridge itself. | I said that because I looked at modern derringers from Bond Arms and Double Eagle Derringer (some of the only companies still making derringers) and all their models are offered in rimfire calibers, .45 LC/.410 gauge, or .357 magnum with the .45/.410 being the most common.

Paladin(Richard Boone) often carried one of these(sometimes he had a single shot derringer, but usually it was one of these) in the TV show Have Gun Will Travel.

Is this page name correct? Everything that I can find seems to call this the Model 95. This name seems somewhat confusing though since it was introduced in 1866, was the name changed at some point?

Alot of modern films featuring derringers list the weapon used as this model. Given the obsolescence of .41 rimfire isn't it more likely that recent films use more modern .45 Long Colt derringers?
