Pocket pistols, pocket revolvers. From the flintlock to the modern subcompact. Models - Collecting - Technology - Calibres - Ballistics. For centuries, pocket pistols and revolvers have accompanied people - as naturally as pocket watches or snuff for a long time. The booklet presents old and modern derringers and shows many famous as well as lesser-known models from the turn of the last century - the boom time of pocket pistols. Testers and authors discuss frequently used calibres such as 6.35 or 7.65 and compare their performance with that of modern large calibres. After all, modern cartridges such as 9 mm Para or .45 ACP have long since found a place in the small and light constructions. In addition to ballistics, the book also deals with breech techniques and carrying methods as well as collecting the small guns.
