This pistol only has a 7.125" overall length so loading is usually done in the hands, but I got to tell you having this small stand to load makes things a lot easier. I am no craftsman but I think this loading stand came out looking classy for something I cobbled out of bits and pieces. Pocket pistols have a storied history. Primarily used as a concealed deterrent for protection in an age when most firearms of the pistol type were large and bulky, the pocket pistol evolved based on stealth. The most iconic pocket pistol was the Philadelphia Deringer. Invented in 1852 by gunsmith Henry Deringer, a muzzle-loading percussion pistol that packed a punch for punching distance. June Jenna Elfman shoots a walker with a Philadelphia Derringer she took from the gun locker of the theme park in "Humbug's Gulch" S5E03 of the Walking Dead series that is loosely based on a true story.
