Remington manufactured the William H. Elliot designed double derringer from 1866 until 1935; total production was around 150,000. The gun in the above photo is a post Wild West era Type 3 (aka Model 4) made sometime between 1912 and 1935. On these pistols, the serial numbers don’t mean much since they were reused in different production batches. Sometimes this pistol is known as the “model 95,” the “double derringer,” the “1866 derringer,” or the “over and under derringer.” TV and big screen westerns made the Remington Double the most recognized of all the derringers; John Wayne carried one in "Big Jake". Richard Boone carried one in "Have Gun, Will Travel". It was the
cowboy’s backup gun, the gambler’s sneaky gun, the lady’s purse or garter gun.
The 130-grain lead bullet leaves the muzzle at a modest 425 fps, generating only
about 50 ft-lbs of energy, low by today’s pocket gun standards but in the early
post Civil War years the .41 rimfire was an impressive innovation. |
