What brand derringer do you have? One thing that did surprise me was how light the rifling cut is in the barrel like just barely there but somehow it works.
I thought the same thing about my Davis Forty. The rifling is so light, I think of it as a smooth bore. Yet, it seems like that it will get the job done, within 5 yards or so. But, I do start to feel it, after about 7 rounds or so:

Even a Derringer looks evil when it’s black.
