Customer Comments
I bought a Snake Slayer. Loved the design (yeah, I’m nostalgic; still use a blade razor and carry a pocket watch). Built like a dump truck, machined like a watch? You bet!! Have a .22 barrel for plinking and for drills. Keep .410 000 shot shells for carry. And I do carry it. Small, unobtrusive, always available. Exceptional value. Bought m...

I purchased the Texas Defender chambered in .45LC/.410. I conceal carry, but wanted a firearm to keep next to me in my car, within easy reach. After reading the reviews of Bond Arms and watching Youtube videos of all the bond arms firearms, I chose the Texas Defender. I only plan on loading it with 410 shells. As others have stated, this is one hell of a gun. Heavy, so well made, everything is so precise in the manufacture of it. Only in the United States will you have firearm this well made. Shooting it is a pleasure too! Recoil is not a problem. A bonus was the offer of another barrel for 50% off. I chose the 9mm. Thank you to the state of Texas and Bond Arms Inc. You really can’t go wrong one of their products.
I have had a Snake Slayer for some time, along with 2 extra barrels ... a 45 Colt and a 45 acp. Also ... got a BATF Holster and a Rosewood extended grip with the Silver Star. Looking forward to ordering a 327 Federal Mag barrel and a Faux Ivory extended grip. Recently had my first opportunity to take it to the range with the 45/410 barrel. Wow! It was fun to shoot. My range does not allow buckshot or birdshot, but my friend and I fired several 410 slugs and transitioned to 45 Colt. Shot a full box of 45 Colt Cowboy Ammo.
What fun to shoot! I am a retired LEO with 35 years of service, and own 26 other handguns. I am totally comfortable carrying this finely made weapon as a CCW! Thank you!

I purchased a 38sp Texas Defender. The quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. Just holding the gun, you can feel that it is solid and well made. Fun to shoot.
The gun is very nice but it became even better when I received my extended grips. The little thing became much more easier to hold to and fight back at the recoil. The grips are kind of pricey to me costing one third what I paid for the gun.I was hesitant to order the grips but gave in and did it. Now over the high cost it turns out the purchase was a good investment because of the added control.
Naturally, I ordered the Snake Slayer with the 4.25″ barrel in .45 Colt/.410. I also ordered a 2.5″ barrel in .40 S&W and a 4.25″ barrel in .357/.38Spl. Using the .410 with 3″ Winchester PDX is a kicker. Literally. You maintain control of the gun, but you KNOW the catcher is out of commission. At 10 yards, the man-sized target had all discs and pellets inside the black. The .38 Specials and .357 Mag rounds went downrange easily enough, and I could have shot boxes of them. I figured the .40 S&W was an easily obtainable round, and this WAS a pocket gun… They KICK, almost as much as the .45 Colt’s and .410 PDX’s did. So, if I go to the range, I’ll practice with the .38 Spcl’s and carry with the .410 PDX’s. When hunting, I’ll carry the .410 with #8 for snakes.
I’ve wanted a .45 acp derringer for as long as I can remember and finally invested in the Bond Arms Backup. I have now put the extended grips on it and bought the .357 Mag barrel set which I can shoot Much better than the short .45 barrels. I would like to own the longer .45 acp barrels and I think they would be a lot easier to hit with. I am amazed at how far I can hit with the .357 barrels which are an inch longer. Trigger took a lot of break in and experience on how to squeeze it but keeps getting better with use. All in all, I like my Bond Arms Derringer and enjoy shooting it.
I have to say I have been considering a Bond Arms firearm. I have always been one to be averted to to common consensus to be honest. And in the world of semi- autos, well the derringer was an obvious choice. I grew up shooting large bore firearms (.44 mag, 357 mag, etc..) and the “modern” ammunition just seemed unappealing to me. To be honest I cant shoot a 9mm or .380 accurately for the life of me. Once I stumbled upon such a small, concealable firearm capable of shooting .45 colt (.410.. bonus!) I was immediately interested. After firing my Texas Defender.. Well I was in love. We are talking minimal recoil and accuracy for the range intended. The gun feels like a tank and I know that it will last me more than a lifetime. Definitely a work of art that will be passed down.. Bond Arms has some type of wizardry going on here. And for all those who are hesitant about carrying just two shots just have not shot one of these. Not a fan of big bore? Choose your barrel! which is another plus of what this company has to offer. Thank you Bond for your dedication to thinking outside of the box, standing strong by your products, and providing all with quality firearms with a classic, functional, and reliable design. In a complex world we often forget the value of simplicity.
Every time my Snake Slayer goes to the range, fellow shooters want to try it out. The first thing upon which they remark is how solid the firearm feels. After shooting, they remark on how surprised they were at how well such a small firearm handles the recoil.
I got to shoot 45 long colts with my snake slayer today, it preformed great very smooth firing for such a large shell. Looking forward many more trips to the range. No picture taking allowed at the range where I shoot.
