I’ve always loved the look of the Bond Arms Derringers, although they are so well made and stout that I hesitate to call them derringers instead of just “Small Handguns”. I finally, after looking at them for many years, picked up a Patriot with a 3″ 45/410 barrel and a Bond Driving Crossdraw Holster. I was absolutely blown away by the quality and how just insanely fun this handgun is to shoot! I immediately ordered the 3″ 44 spl barrel to go with it. This is my go-to everyday carry. It’s comfortable, easy to shoot, accurate, and fun. If you’re on the fence, get one. Just get one. You will not regret it. Also, as everyday carry arguments go, the best gun for self defense is the one you carry all the time and the one you shoot often and well. You do not need 10000 round capacity to defend yourself. What you need is a tool that you competently handle and use well. There is no reason that the Bond Arms Handgun can’t fill that roll for you. It certainly does for me.
