Trigun: What kind of guns do they use?

Now here's what I've been trying to figure out. What kind of Derringer does Meryl use? She has fifty of them and keeps them in her coat. From what I've gathered (after visiting at least ten different Trigun fansites, then cross referenced to gun sites) they seem to be two caliber, which would make it a double shot. This led me to believe that it is a Remington Double Derringer. Am I correct?

Don't quote me on this, but given how Trigun is largely a fantasy story and much less rooted in reality than, say, Bebop, I've always felt that the guns in Trigun weren't exactly real-world models per se, but rather general gun types based off of real-world models. Meryl's derringers, for example, probably aren't any real-world model, but rather a general amalgamation of one or two real-world models that were used for reference.

But then that's pure speculation on my part with no source to back it up, so take it with a grain of salt.
