from College Station Texas 		Most fun you can have with your clothes on
If you are looking for a practical, everyday carry gun, this isn't it. If you are looking for a masterpiece of engineering that delivers a truly unforgettable shooting experience, then the Bond Arms Cyclops is your next purchase. This is not just a firearm; it is a statement, a conversation starter, and an absolute beast built to the highest standards.

The defining feature, of course, is the chambering. Mine is in .45-70 Government, and yes, it is exactly as much fun as it sounds. The initial apprehension about managing that caliber in a compact derringer vanishes the moment you hold it. The weight and solid stainless-steel construction of the Cyclops are its secret weapon. It absorbs and redirects the massive recoil surprisingly well, turning what should be a painful event into a controllable, albeit forceful, punch. It’s a thrill ride you’ll want to take again and again.
Bottom line: If you appreciate quality and want the biggest bore available in a small package, look no further.

 Wouldn't call it "fun", but it's fun!
Couldn't resist any longer, local shop finally had one and now they don't, because I do. Recoil is substantial for sure, definitely not for new shooters, but at least with conservative loads it's not the untamable monster you'd expect. 

The design does a great job keeping muzzle flip to a minimum,  do NOT forget ear protection.😂

I waited 9 months to get this powerful pocket pistol.  I shot some Federal Hammerdown 300 grain.  Fun to shoot.  My 45-70 Cyclops is in my carry rotation. I carry my Cyclops with 4 extra rounds in a pouch.

from Oregon 		Awesome!
What an awesome gun. So much fun to shoot and is very balanced with the grip so you don’t loose control. It was very easy to hold on to and didn’t kick nearly as much as I feared.

HAVE A QUESTION? ASK US!

Q: Can I put a Cyclops barrel on my other Bond Arms pistols?

A: No. Because the Cyclops is single-shot, another frame meant for a double-barrel will not work.

Q: Can I put one of my other barrels on a Cyclops frame?

A: No. The Cyclop's hammer does not alternate between two barrels like all of the other frames. Therefore, it will not work with barrels from other models.

Q: Will I be able to fire other calibers out of my Cyclops, or just what it comes with?

A: You will be able to fire any Cyclops barrel from a Cyclops frame. For example, if you own a 45-70 Cyclops, you will be able to switch over to a Cyclops barrel chambered in 44 Magnum, 454 Casull, or any other caliber in which we chamber the Cyclops.

Q: How bad is the kick on the 45-70?

A: That is entirely dependent on the ammunition you use. In our experience, 45-70 ammunition with velocities under 1500 FPS are entirely manageable. However, there is 45-70 ammunition specifically made for rifles in excess of 1800, 2000, and even 2300 FPS. We do not recommend using that ammunition in the Bond Arms Cyclops.
