The DM-101 uses a hammerless DAO system that fires one barrel per trigger pull, automatically alternating between the over/under barrels. The break-open barrel set is released via a left-side latch, simplifying loading and unloading.
Its compact, micro-size profile pairs a 3.5-inch barrel set with an overall length of approximately 5.125 inches. Sighting is straightforward with a fixed trench/channel system along the top rib.
The pistol wears a blue/black finish with polished flats and smooth white "ivory-color" synthetic grip panels that provide a clean, period-correct appearance.
Rollmarked "Hamden, Conn., U.S.A.," this U.S.-made derringer reflects the High Standard design known for its alternating-barrel firing sequence and streamlined, hammerless profile.
