Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The High Standard DM-101 Derringer in .22 WMR (“Magnum”) with its 3.5-inch over-under barrels and bright blued finish is a compact powerhouse with old-school appeal and serious bite. Introduced as part of High Standard’s second-generation derringer line in the late 1960s, the DM-101 built on the company’s innovative over/under design by adding the capability to handle the higher-velocity .22 Magnum cartridge. Its break-open action is spring-loaded for quick access to both chambers, and operates via a “stirrup” latch underneath: lift the stirrup, swing the barrels downward, and the extractor will lift or eject fired cases depending on how quickly you operate it. The DM-101 is double-action-only, meaning each pull of the trigger both cocks and releases the internal striker — a design choice that makes it faster to fire than a traditional hammer cock + release mechanism, though at the cost of a heavy trigger pull. With both barrels chambered, it weighs in at around 11 ounces, making it surprisingly manageable to carry despite its two-shot capacity. The fixed sights — a forward blade and rear notch — are minimal but rugged, keeping the profile sleek and snag-resistant.

Because it fires .22 WMR, expect a stout report for such a small gun and a sharp, snappy recoil; the long 3.5? barrels help stabilize the round and improve performance, but the design's compact nature still gives a very punchy feel. The small-form frame is all metal, giving durability and a certain heft for its size, and the blued finish remains highly collectible among derringer aficionados. While not the most tactical choice for modern carry, the DM-101 remains beloved for its nostalgic design, clever mechanics, and compact utility — and while its production stopped in 1984, it's still widely appreciated by collectors, vintage gun fans, and those who want a concealable, two-shot pocket blaster with real magnum capability.
