Derringer 1866 is an iconic example of compact 19th-century firearms. Known for its small size, elegant design, and instantly recognizable silhouette, it is closely associated with the Wild West era. Despite its tiny dimensions, the Derringer was widely used as a concealed self-defense weapon.
Thanks to its distinctive look, the Derringer 1866 often appears in movies and television — from Westerns to modern spy thrillers. It gained particular notoriety after a Derringer pistol was used in the assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in 1865.
