Davis Industries Model D-25 .25 ACP Over/Under Derringer, 2.4 Inch Barrels, Black, U.S.-Made
This Davis Industries Model D-25 stands out as the less common .25 ACP variant within the Davis D-series. Built in the United States during the 1980s–1990s, it is a micro-size, over/under two-shot derringer with an alternating-strike mechanism and a right-side rotating barrel latch. Its steel-lined alloy barrel cluster, alloy frame, and distinctive birdshead hardwood grips give it the characteristic look and function of the D-series.
The pistol features a break-action, single-action-only system with an external spur hammer and a spur trigger without a trigger guard. Fixed sights consist of an integral front blade and a shallow rear groove, plus a cross-bolt safety. The compact 2.4 inch barrels and two-round capacity make it a concise, purpose-built design in this chambering.

What’s Included
- Davis Industries Model D-25 .25 ACP over/under derringer with 2.4 inch barrels
The D-25’s .25 ACP chambering is a noted outlier within the Davis D-series lineup, offering a distinct configuration for those who track model and caliber variations. Its alternating-strike system automatically indexes between the upper and lower barrels with each pull of the trigger.
Construction centers on an alloy frame and alloy barrel cluster with steel liners, finished in black. The design uses a right-side rotating barrel latch and a break-open action for loading and unloading, paired with single-action-only operation via an external spur hammer.
Controls and sights are straightforward: a cross-bolt safety, a spur trigger without a trigger guard, an integral front blade, and a shallow rear groove. The two-piece hardwood birdshead grips include a small circular inlay on the left panel.
With 2.4 inch barrels, a two-round capacity, and micro overall size, this is a compact derringer that reflects the era and manufacturing approach of Davis Industries during the 1980s–1990s in the United States.
