Pros

  • Rotating firing pin fires a different barrel each time the hammer is cocked.
  • Includes a custom silver and turquoise belt buckle.
  • Belt buckle is made by Ben Yazzie, a noted Navajo silversmith.
  • Distinctive derringer design offers a compact multi-barrel setup.
  • Presented as a coordinated firearm-and-buckle set.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The rotating firing pin means each hammer cocking advances to a different barrel, so the firing sequence is built into the design and may not suit buyers looking for a conventional single-barrel setup.
  • This is a highly specialized derringer rather than a general-purpose hunting sidearm, so its role is more limited than a full-size field handgun.
  • The included belt buckle is custom made by Ben Yazzie in silver and turquoise, which adds collectible appeal but also makes the package more niche than a standard firearm purchase.
  • At this price point, the product is positioned as a premium, distinctive piece, so it may be more appropriate for collectors and enthusiasts than for buyers focused on utility alone.
