Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Hi-Standard D-100 Derringer in .22 LR with its 3.5-inch blued barrels stands as one of the most recognizable and cleverly engineered pocket pistols of the mid-20th century, blending simplicity, concealability, and mechanical ingenuity into a compact defensive arm that became especially popular with law enforcement as a backup weapon. Produced during an era when derringers were evolving beyond their Old West roots, the D-100 offered a modern interpretation with its sleek over-under double-barrel layout, a robust steel frame, and a smooth, dark blued finish that gave it a refined yet utilitarian appearance. Its break-open action, actuated by a pushbutton latch on the side, allows for straightforward loading and unloading, while the rotating striker mechanism automatically alternates between the top and bottom barrels with each pull of the trigger—an elegant internal solution that eliminates the need for dual triggers or external selectors.

Despite its minimalistic size, the D-100 feels surprisingly solid in hand, with gently rounded edges designed to avoid snagging when carried discreetly in a pocket or vest. The spur-style trigger, which lacks a traditional guard, contributes to its slim profile and fast access, yet works in conjunction with its heavy, deliberate pull to provide a measure of functional safety. Though chambered in the mild .22 LR, this derringer was built for extremely close-range defense and last-resort utility, making reliability paramount; Hi-Standard’s reputation for quality machining ensured tight lockup and consistent ignition. Today, the D-100 appeals to collectors for its distinctive design, its connection to mid-century police use, and its iconic appearance in period films and television, all while representing one of the more refined and mechanically interesting derringers ever produced.
