Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Butler Single-Shot Derringer in .22 Short is a compact, old-school pocket pistol built for extreme concealability and simple operation. Its 2½-inch barrel, combined with the small .22 Short cartridge, makes it suitable only for very close-range use—ideal as a last-resort backup or a collector’s novelty rather than a primary defensive firearm. The two-tone blue and nickel finish gives the pistol a classic, eye-catching appearance, while the blade front sight provides a straightforward aiming reference for point-and-shoot scenarios.

Ergonomically, the smooth wood grips and short overall length make the Derringer comfortable to carry and quick to draw, but its single-shot action and modest ballistic performance mean follow-up shots require manual reloading and substantial shooter awareness. Low recoil and simple mechanics make it easy to handle, yet its limited effective range and stopping power should temper expectations — owners typically value this model for its concealability, historical charm, and role as an emergency backup or collectible piece.
