: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?

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?
- 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 don't know that it's one or the other, I'm just thinking out loud. Nyles
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.
- Well, the Bond Arms is different enough that you'd norice, but I can see the Double Eagle being mistaken for an 1866. - Nyles
Should we rename this article simply "Double Barrel derringer." I seriously doubt that all the derringers in film are this antiquated model.
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. He kept it hidden under his belt and often used it to get the upper hand after he had been disarmed of his primary sidearm(either by him surrendering it or having it taken from him unexpectedly).
