DerringerDan.com is a place where firearm enthusiasts, beginners, and everyday folks alike can come to learn, explore, and share a passion for guns—especially compact firearms. While the site started with a strong appreciation for Derringer pistols—known for their simplicity, reliability, and deep concealability—we’ve grown to cover a wide range of topics, from everyday carry options to home defense, shotguns, rifles, and more.
I’m not a military vet or firearms instructor. I’m just someone who enjoys shooting, learning, and talking with others who share the same interest. Everything I write comes from real-world experience—through my own purchases, research, range time, and word-of-mouth from folks I trust. I’ve developed a strong passion for shotguns over the years, and more recently, a new love for clay shooting—something I now enjoy doing with my teenage son.
This site exists to share that journey. Whether you're looking for practical reviews, insights on carry options, or just want to expand your own knowledge, you'll find content here that’s based on curiosity, hands-on use, and honest impressions—not hype.
