The Las Vegas, NV slide address confirms Desert Industries production from the 1990s. With production reportedly well under 100 pistols, the Double Deuce is recognized as a scarce model that appeals to collectors of American micro autos.
The pistol uses a simple blowback system with DA/SA operation and a fixed barrel approximately 2.6 in long. An open-top ejection port and rear cocking serrations support reliable operation and straightforward handling.
Its micro profile measures about 5.5 in long, 3.25 in high, and 0.875 in wide, with a 6+1 capacity in .22 LR. The stainless steel frame and slide wear a matte stainless finish that matches the compact, purpose-built design.
Controls include ambidextrous manual safety levers with a red paint indicator and an external spurred hammer with vertical serrations. Sighting is via fixed, integral sights suited to the pistol’s compact profile. Smooth rosewood grip panels complete the distinctive look, along with the two playing-cards emblem on the right front of the frame/slide shroud.
