What’s Included
- Davis Industries DM-22 pistol
The DM-22 is a two-shot, over/under derringer chambered in .22 WMR, designed for simple operation with a single-action-only mechanism and an external spur hammer. The break-open, top-hinged barrel cluster makes loading and unloading straightforward, and a left-side latch controls the barrel release.
Its compact, micro-size profile is paired with a birdshead grip frame and smooth white grip panels, providing a classic derringer look. The gloss black finish contrasts cleanly with the grips, and fixed sights with an integral front blade offer a straightforward sight picture.
Controls are minimal and purposeful, including a manual safety and an exposed curved trigger with no trigger guard. Capacity is two rounds, with a 2.4-inch barrel cluster built for close-range utility consistent with traditional derringer design.
Made in the United States and marked "DAVIS INDUSTRIES, MIRA LOMA CA, U.S.A.," this model represents late 20th-century American derringer production. It falls within the company’s 1980s–1990s output and is no longer produced following the firm’s 1999 bankruptcy.
