I'd been through quite a few derringers in search for a little hideaway gun, but their weight, 2 round capacity (for most), and single action (for most) indicated I was barking up the wrong tree.
I figured one of those old little 7-shot .22s would be more to my liking. Seven rounds vs 2, lighter weight, and DA.
I bought this H&R and tried it out at the range to get an idea of its accuracy, and it shoots way better than I do - no surprise there. At about 55 yards from the bench in SA about 1/3 of the 70-80 shots fired hit a piece of cardboard about 16" x 16". I was very pleased, with myself and the gun.
Inspired by the sporty appearance of the H&R Vest Pocket, I removed the hammer spur and most of the front sight to reduce the snag factor, and now it looks like this.
