AMERICAN DERRINGER CORPORATION BTJ DA - .38 SPL - 2 ROUNDS (O/U), 3 \" BARREL, THIS PISTOL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OF RUST OR PITTING.

Review Highlights & Characteristics
Collectors and reviewers generally note the following regarding the BTJ DA:
**Design Rarity: It is considered a \"hard-to-find\" example of a double-action derringer from the mid-80s. Unlike traditional single-action derringers, the DA mechanism allows for faster firing without manually cocking the hammer for each shot.
**Build Quality: Reviewers from sites like Legacy Collectibles and Bryant Ridge describe the finish as high-quality brushed or matte stainless steel, noting its excellent corrosion resistance.
**Concealability: With a total length under 5 inches and a slim profile, it is frequently cited as an ideal \"pocket pistol\" for deep concealment.
**Recoil: Given its lightweight frame and potent chambering (especially in .38 Special or 9mm), users should expect significant felt recoil compared to full-sized handguns.
**Mechanical Integrity: Units found at often maintain \"strong rifling\" and mechanically sound actions even decades after production ceased.
