The other designs? Not so much. If someone made a modern HDH in .22 Long Rifle or .22 Magnum with updated styling, I bet it would sell.

It had two barrels, one on top of the other, and each pull of the trigger would revolve the cylinder only a teensy tiny amount, only one chamber would line up with a barrel, and only one bullet would come out. The thing that made people want to buy the gun was that it would fire twenty times before running dry. The reason why it sucked was that it was a massive, heavy, expensive gun that was chambered for an underpowered .22 centerfire round called the velo-dog. It was marketed as a fistful of manly he-man studmuffinrey that would put the kabosh on any empty-headed villain that would dare to go up against someone equipped with such awesome firepower. You don't need to shoot them with an effective round <i>as long as you can shoot them often</i>! I'll let your readers decide if that was a good strategy for self defense. “The HDH: When one round fired at a time is just not enough”
