The Garrucha is a small pistol similar to a Derringer common in southern Brazil and Argentina in the early 20th Century. It is usually double-barreled though with the barrels side-by-side rather than vertical as is common in American derringers and the bores can be rifled or smooth.In Brazil the most popular chamberings were for the .320 and .380 centrefire cartridges similar to the .32 S&W and .38 S&W in appearance but conical.
