The garrucha is a small rifled or smoothbore pistol, similar to a derringer, which was common in Brazil and Argentina in the early 20th century. Even though single-shot variants exist, it is usually double-barreled with the barrels in a side-by-side layout, rather than the more common over-and-under layout of many derringer designs.
