I own several guns,and the snake slayer IV is absolutely hands down the best gun that I have ever owned. I had a little trouble pulling the trigger and hammer as I have arthritis in both hands,so I watched a few videos on YouTube about bond arms guns,specifically about getting familiar with the gun and how to fire it,after that no problems, Mr. Gordon Bond explains how to properly shoot the weapon,I found out that I was doing it all wrong @I would suggest that everyone watch this video,it will make your experience much more enjoyable.And just let me say that this is a sweet shooting gun, very little recoil when shooting 45 long colt and 410 buckshot .This is and will always be my carry gun. Thanks again to all the folks at bond arms for the quality service and products that you produce.
