I have purchased 2 Bond Arms derringers, 38/357 and 45/410 snake slayer. Both derringers fire flawlessly. The 38/357 is truly a pleasure to shoot and surprisingly hardly no recoil. Very accurate at 10 yards with stock barrel, fired American Eagle 158 grain 38 special and some reload bought at a local gun show. 100 rounds and no misfires. This gun is really fun to shoot. The 45 Colt / 410 000 buck is a different story, this is not for the faint of heart. I fired about 20 rounds of 410 000 buck all rounds at 7 to 10 yards, they all hit center of mass destroying the target and my hand. The 45 long colt was not too bad, I fired another 25 rounds and hit center of mass at the same distances. The 45 Colt was equal to about a .357. After completion of range time, the webbing of my hand singled for several hours afterwards, for 2 days my hand was sore. This snake slayer is a mini cannon, impressive none the less. I would highly recommend any Bond Arms derringer, you won't find a finer quality weapon anywhere. Great job to Bond Arms!
