Davis Industries .22 Magnum DM22 Derringer 2 1/2 inch 2 Shot VG ca 1991 Production

From its home in New England comes this attractive specimen of the Davis Derringer. Manufacturer was Davis Industries of Chino, CA, who enjoyed a brief splash among the Jennings Raven Jiminez family in the 1980s and 1990s. Type is two shot derringer, single action, with a 10 pound vicinity trigger pull. Construction is mostly zinc alloy or zamak, with steel barrel liners, firing pins, springs, bushings, and internal parts, and with chrome plated steel hammer and trigger. Chambering is .22 Winchester Magnum caliber, capacity is two shots. This derringer will not fire .22 Long Rifle correctly. Barrels are 2 3/8 inch six groove left hand, with a zinc alloy ejector. Finish is black anodized frame and barrel, with laminated wood grips. To its credit, the Davis does have a cross-frame safety bar that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pins, but since the firing pins are free floating, this pistol can readily fire by striking its muzzle hard enough. Transfer mechanism is a rotary 4 leaf clover looking device that alternates the two position firing face of the hammer. It is a very bad idea to ever place your hand over the muzzle of any loaded firearm, especially a derringer like this one or even its pricier competitors. We learned this the hard way about 50 years ago. This is not a quality pistol, but it is an attractive descendant of the original Remington. Surface wear on this specimen is moderate, principally edge wear. We rate it as Very Good, 80 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. We do not believe it has been fired more than 50 times. Unless you have collector interest, stay with a good little North American Mini Revolver.
