Derringer Model 1 .45?

[Scotty 2 Hotty]

Just wondering if anyone had any feedback on a Derringer Model 1 .45 ACP. I am considering one. The one that I have looked at is Stainless Steel with 2 3" Barrels. I believe that it will also shoot .410 shells, but I am not sure on that one. But I found one for $250 and though it was a pretty good deal. So who out there has one and what do you think about it? How is the recoil and accuracy? Any feedback would be appreciated. I have several other guns and this would be the smallest of my collection.

Thanks for all your input.

American Derringer Model 1, right?

The .45 ACP just shoots .45 ACP. The .45 Colt shoots 410 as well.

I almost picked one up at a show for $300, but someone wanted it more than me and it was gone when I came back to it. Like new in it's little case. It would be a nice "throw it in your pocket" gun. I imagine recoil is tough.

I had a 38spl model 1 and it was a nice gun but for its overall size I would rather grab my j frame.
