Derringers had a silent nerf there recently. They now no longer ignore armor.
Which is a fair shame because for 2 telecrystals and only two bullets you expect them to carry a punch. Derringers were exclusively for taking down armored opponents, namely officers. The old shake outta cuffs and derringer trick is now obsolete. They were also handy if an officer didn't totally frisk you and you had that last ace in a hole. It's not even derringers weren't situational before that, they're meant for when you're cornered and are only effective up close.
Now with the nerf it has become even more situational and effectively marginalized the derringer.
