better image of .41 Short cartridges and box

If someone knows how to make it a small size, there's a better image of current production .41 Short cartridge and its box at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.41_Short When I try to move it by adding double [ and "File." to its front and double ] to its end, it is a huge image.

number of M95 derringers produced by Remington?

If anyone comes across a source that has the number of M95 derringers produced by Remington during its 69 year run, that would be a worthwhile addition. Phantom in ca (talk) 21:08, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I found the data and posted it with a linked online source. Phantom in ca (talk) 00:36, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is Model 95, Double Barrel Pistol, or Double Derringer the correct name?

I found this American Hunter: https://www.americanhunter.org/articles/2016/7/27/200-years-of-remington/

and it says, If you have ever watched a Western movie then you’ve probably seen someone, usually a gambler or a soiled dove, shooting a bad guy with a double-barreled derringer. That was undoubtedly a Remington. It was introduced in 1866 as the Remington Double Barrel Pistol. Later the name was changed to the Remington Double Derringer. It fired a .41 rimfire cartridge, and it was produced for 69 years.

Similarly, no where in this other American Rifleman article does it call it a Model 95, but rather a Double Derringer. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2014/3/24/remington-41-double-derringer/

Was this Wiki article incorrectly titled? Phantom in ca (talk) 00:44, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. They are synonymous with the term "Derringer". I have always called these "Derringers" or "Remington Derringers" myself, and I've only occasionally heard them called "Remington Double Derringer". I think "Remington Derringer" is the most common name.--RAF910 (talk) 17:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
