Heizer Defense has intro’d its first new product, a derringer-like hammerless pocket pistol they call “the world’s smallest and lightest .45 ACP conceal carry pistol on the market today.”

I don't know if I like the idea of all those holes in the barrels of a "pocket pistol", all I can think of is what might happen if I had to deploy from inside my pocket.
And there is no place to mount my laser.
I think I'll take a pass and wait for Mark 1 Mod 2.

"...Heizer wants no mistake made about their manufacturing location. It’s stamped right there on the side: ST. LOUIS MO, USA, EARTH.
Our wrists ache just thinking about it..."

I wouldn't worry about it. I expect this is nothing more than a belly gun.

Maybe so, but I want to be able to hit out to 21 feet in necessary circumstances, and that sight ain't going to make it. Just being prepared.

IMHO, even though it's a .45, this doesn't even make a decent BUG since it only has 2 rounds.
This makes a Buckmark Camper .22 with 10 + 1 look like a much better alternative. :-)

I wonder why they bothered to put a front sight on it?

Because a scope would have been overkill.

Wow, it looks like you can only get 2-3 fingers on it. Yikes. No wonder its ported like that. Ouch. I bet they made it hold two shots only because any more than that makes grown men cry, or at least flinch like crazy.

...it's not a target pistol...for a last-chance lifesaver it'd hurt the other guy more than it'd hurt you...and that's what I'd buy it for...less recoil than a .357 in that style of pistol...more powerful than a .38...it has one purpose and, for that purpose, would prolly be effective...the hand could heal later...

...and faster for the second shot...best delivered gasses and all by contact shot if possible...also might help shield the flash a bit...
