I first saw these guns a couple years ago and knew I would own one someday. About two months ago I purchased the USA defender and a 3 1/2 ” .410/45lc barrel. I have several pocket guns and none of them are very accurate out past about 7-8 yards, Bond arms is a little better. At ten yards with 3″ .410 personal defense rounds it destroys the target…or anything else you might shoot. Very accurate out to ten yards. Recoil is absolutely Manageable. My wife also has a carry license and now we are going to get her the mama bear. Not a novelty. Not a toy. This thing is a deadly, rock solid, and beautiful hand cannon.
