in about 2012 or 2013 i bought the cowboy and snake slayer because i handled both at family owned gun store and noticed the very high quality of each pistol.  the owner sold them to me at their cost since i was buying both.  my wife and son love shooting them as much as i do.  they are great for up close casual shooting and self protection.  all of us hit 2 liter water filled old pop bottles at 15 feet very easy.  i also purchased the roughneck in 357/38 and bought a 3 inch and 3 1/2 inch barrels for them.   also i bought a 45acp barrel in 2 1/2 inch and 357/38 barrel in 3 inch.  they all shoot very well and keep the distance at 15 foot.  these are not camp perry bullseye guns,  they are up close protection guns from predators of all walks of life.  you will not be robbed or attacked from 75 feet away.  they are very safe.  very reliable,  and accurate enough at their intended distances that they are made for.  they are great second personal carry pistols as well for police/military/civilian use.  these are the only pistols i ever owned that work 100 percent of the time.  even if you used simple 6 shot 410 bore 2 1/2 inch shells up close at night to the chin level or belly button lever on a attacker at 6 foot distance im sure they would have desired result of ending attack on you.  i do not show any of mine to anyone because i have learned over the years that relatives and best friends will never stop asking me to sell one of my bond arms to them which i never will.  i will keep all my bond arms pistols and barrels until i pass from this life.  even the snake slayer with hard cast lead semi wad cutters or brenikie solid slugs will go in deep if you need to carry this pistol in extreme remote areas for protection against any form of aggression to you or family.  when we casual target practice or camp remote we always take bond arms pistols with us.  i carry roughneck with 3 inch 410 bore/45lc barrel,  larger size snake slayer grips everyday as my back/up retired pd/ccw everyday carry pistol.  these also save you money from buying extra pistols with different calibers as well.   bond arms is a company that makes guns the shooters want at a price that is possible to purchase.  not like a company that makes guns shooters dont want at a price they cannot afford unless they have a credit card and have to use it to buy their gun.  thank you bond arms and thank you to all bond arms employees for making such quality pistols.  great job!
