I had researched this gun thoroughly before I bought it. It did meet all of my expectations. Very well made. shoots good & I like the ease of changing barrels, I would definetely buy another.

I have just recently purchased this weapon and I feel no regret in any form. The weapon lives up to its Texas pride without any hesitation, a true example that in the US we make our weapons correctly. As for function the weapon does not disappoint, we are basically dealing with a ”show stopper” weapon and when it is loaded with 410 ammo you get that service in seconds. I have recently retired form the military and I only wish we had something like this in our kits. I would gladly take this weapon into combat with my sniper rifle. As for the weapon itself the Cowboy Defender is perfectly made; from the polish to the handles I have no complaints. In regards to accuracy the weapon does it’s job but remember you will not be engaging targets at 100+ meters this is a area weapon for those ”oh s**t” moments. So to conclude ... I am in love. - Miguel Carretero

Buying gas recently I was approached by 2 men demanding money. Thanks Bond arms for changing their minds. NO SHOTS FIRED. COWBOY DEFENDER 45 Colt.

I just got my Bond Arms derringer back from you last week week week and and I am very pleased with the retro-fit done by Travis. The trigger pull is much lighter and alot more easier to pull than the old version. Also the wider hammer spur gives more purchase for cocking than the old one. All in all, a very good experience, the turnaround time was a little less than I previously thought at first and Travis even called me to make sure of the return address. I have bought two extra barrels, an extra grip, a Buck knife with a matching black ash handle and a holster since I first bought my derringer and couldn’t be happier. Thanks for such a great product and great customer service. You guys rock! - Glenn Bordeaux

I just bought a Bond Ranger. It sounds dumb, but is seems to me to be a cross between a Swiss Watch and a Sherman Tank. I could not be more pleased with fit and finish and sheer strength. Yes I will buy another one for my wife and all the barrels for me. It will be a collection to be proud of. - Rob

I am female, 5’3, 120lbs and had no problem shooting the Texas defender with 45 LC. The recoil was nothing I couldn’t handle and I must say I have fairly scrawny wrists and hands. It did pack a punch but there was no pain from the recoil. I did change out my grip to the rubber extended one which may have helped. I also followed the tips given by bond arms when shooting. Love my new gun. For all the boys complaining about the recoil. Omg really?? If I can do it you better be able to. - AJ

I finally had the opportunity to see your products in person. I must say that it only took 5 seconds and I was hooked. I went home from the gun store, cleaned my Glock 27 with Crimson Trace laser, sold it and bought a Bond Arms Snake Slayer an hour later. I cannot express how pleased I am with the firearms you build at Bond Arms. My wife now wants to sell her Glock 26 and purchase a Texas Defender. You have certainly raised the bar and I will definitely tell everyone I know about your products. God Bless America!!! Thank you!!!

PS. Just got back from the range after taken my Snake Slayer out for our first real date!!! At 15 feet, only “1” pellet missed the mark and even that lone pellet was close. I was surprised at how tight the pattern was being such a short barrel. I am absolutely amazed and completely in love. No way I’ll ever give up this little lady!!! Thank you Gordon and thank you Bond Arms!!! Still smiling, Kevin Scott.

This is a terrific firearm for concealed carry. The firearm is exceptionally well-made and machined. The light weight of the firearm, as well as the fact that you get an extra round compared to other small 9 mm firearms, is a real plus. In addition, with the barrel in the bullpup position, you get greater terminal velocity out of the small firearm. The recoil is also reduced greatly by the bullpup design and the rotating barrel is also a great help. The Walnut grips while little fat, fit my hand well and allow me to get a great purchase on the gun. They also mitigate recoil. All in all, this is a terrific firearm for concealed carry. I have had no issues with failure to feed or failure to eject with high quality ammunition. I recommend this firearm highly for concealed carry.

Great trigger pull. Very little recoil. Excellent shoot from the hip presentation. Looks wicked cool too! Love the rich color of the grips.

Fired about 100 rounds so far, flawless. Absolutely no problems, found the rosewood grips a bit too slippery and put a Hogue rubber grip over it, and improved handling, hoping Bond comes up with some replacement grips eventually, and replacement parts also. I purchased an IWB holster, fits well and I will carry it.
