I just purchased a new Texas Defender w/ 410 / 45. The first time shooting it was a little intimidating. The second time I love it. I have ordered another barrel w/ the 50% off coupon which is a 38 / 357. I know I am going to enjoy shooting it. It will be my ccw of choice. Thanks so much for such a quality product.

Fired my new Snakeslayer in 45/410! It sure has a bite, but so much fun to shoot. Shot 410 3inch shot loads and they covered target at 10yds. Then tried 3inch PDX loads at same distance. They did.

A lot of fun shooting my snakeslayer. It has a little kick to it but easy to handle.

I have seen the adds for Bond Arms guns for quite a while in my American Rifleman magazine. my decision to buy one was made after going to the website and watching the many videos about them on You Tube The Cowboy Defender is a perfect example of modern materials and attention to detail during assembly. I have made three trips to the shooting range with mine and have carried it in the Bond driving holster with Hornady critical defense 410 ammo.

I was in the local pawn shop again and found another Bond Arms pistol. This one a Cowboy Defender was just as nice as the first (Texas Defender). These pistols are such a great deal and exceptional quality someone would have to be in dire need of money to sell. These little pistols are built like a tank only stronger, I bought it immediately and now have two. With their lifetime warranty and very friendly staff these pistols will last a lifetime and a great pistol to pass on to future generations. I know about quality and having a weapon you can depend on being a Vietnam Veteran. You make a great pistol Bond arms, keep up the great work!

Thank you kindly Bond Arms for making a derringer that is California legal! Our ranch in California’s high desert has seen just about every kind of snake that lives in the region. (We don’t harm the non-venomous kind.) Carrying a shotgun while completing daily chores and doing improvement work increases the potential for a problem or at least a damaged shotgun. .22 caliber shot shells are not usually effective and putting a .38, .357 or .45 shot shell in my carry guns is out of the question. The Bond Arms Big Bear in .45 Colt is the perfect answer! Thank you!

I’ve fired my new Snake Slayer two times with different range buddies. One of them is a little scared of it. It’s a handcannon alright. The other friend thinks it’s the coolest thing and wants to get one. I like shooting the 3″ Federal 5 pellet load quickly from hip. It kicks pretty good and the pellet spread seems about perfect from defense distances. I have the Bond Arms IWB and pocket holsters. The IWB really tucks away nicely by my kidney. The pocket carry is a little bulky, but I still like it. I ordered a left hand locking lever and it installed perfectly. If you think you want a Bond Arms gun get one.

I first saw in Concealed Carry Handguns Magazine. I had to have it. Shot as soon as I could get out to the country. Very little recoil for such a beast!

I was apprehensive about spending so much money on the extended stag grips, but all doubts were erased when I received them. Extremely high quality. See for yourself.

Just took my new acquisition out last weekend – handled well on first firing. (Don’t forget earplugs – it’s a popper!). Had to get used to the heavy trigger pull but understand that will get better as the gun is used more. Tried a number of different types of ammo (several different 410 loads and 45 LC) to see spray pattern and had a little issue with miss-fires after about 12 rounds. Gun was cleaned well before going out and cleaned again when done. Will take out again soon. Overall impressed with this little guy – love the size and workmanship. Well made and nice to handle.
