The D-22 is built around an over-under, two-shot derringer layout with 2.4 in steel barrels and chambers. The frame is finished in blued Zamak, paired with white pearl-style synthetic grips for a classic derringer look in a very compact footprint.
Its single-action, break-action system uses an exposed hammer and spur trigger, with a cross-bolt safety for straightforward control. A central extractor lifts both cases when the action is opened, simplifying unloading.
Fixed sights include an integral front blade and a shallow rear notch. At approximately 9.5 oz and micro size, the D-22 offers a lightweight profile with simple, familiar controls.
Markings include "MODEL D-22 CAL. .22 L.R." and "DAVIS INDUSTRIES, CHINO, CA. U.S.A." Manufactured in the United States, production by Davis Industries ceased in 1999, with rights and tooling later acquired by Cobra Firearms.
