Tell me about these weapons. Are they good quality? Are they reliable? ACcurate, etc..?

Never fired one, but handled one once. Seemed well made, IIRC its a .357 4-shot derringer. Slow to reload. Given the size, I'd rather go with a more modern subcompact auto in .40 or (if you insist) .357SIG.

They're oversized for what capability you get. + 1000 on the previous poster's comments.

They are interesting guns.  They were available in 22lr 38 spl and 357.  In Jerry Aherns Survivalist series the female KGB agent used one (357)as a concealment gun.  That was the early 80's though.  The 357 is about the size of a glock 26.  I would choose the glock.  Or for that matter a good 357 snub or a compact auto in 9.  More rounds just as if not a little more compact and not a curio/collector piece.

As to accuracy, I can not speak from first hand experience.   I have fondled a couple in shops but never could see putting that kind of money down to shoot one.

always thought they were kind of a joke.

I thought they were smaller. I was just going to have it as more of a collectors piece out of anything.
