A great constructed weapon. Perfect pocket weapon for concealed carry.

I bought two Bond Arms Derringers last year as their quality and superior craftsmanship make the Derringers they make  better than any other Derringer made in the past or today.  Materials are high grade and being able to switch out barrels with different calibers is fantastic.   You just cannot go wrong with these guns.  And if you need help they actually answer the phone and treat you as a valued customer and NOT a bother.     With different accessories available you can customize the firearm to your needs.

I bought the 9mm roughneck at Academy I needed something for deep conceal carry. There are times I need something that is easer to carry and conceal than my 1911 and this is great just drop it in your pocket and no one knows that you have it. Great for the discreet carry and backup. Needed to put wood a set of wood grips on it to make it easer to get in and out of the pocket.  Great Product!

I love this weapon! Especially, when I am hiking in the mountains of the Great Pacific Northwest. Where I go hiking, the state park rangers encourage all hikers to be on the lookout for cougar and bears. Besides carrying the normal bear spray and being accompany by my four legged best friend (A German Shepard), I feel even safer having my roughneck tuck inside of one of my pockets  (My last option).  However, in these trying times, it is always nice to be able to grab your weapon at a moment notice knowing you have something in your pocket that will protect you -- Hopefully, you won't have to use it but at least it is there -- just in case...

I took my snake slayer in the driving holster on a 23 mile paddle trip on the Edisto river. Know what threats we may face i loaded one shot shell (for snakes) and one 45LC for alligator. And had spare shells on me. I never felt under gunned and was a very comfortable setup to paddle a canoe.  The build quality is top notch, i only wish Bond arms made some single action Revolvers, and series 70 1911s.

I've tried various Brand-X derringers over the years, and none were quality manufactured, and with lousy accuracy.  Bought my first Bond, Rough Neck, 9mm earlier this year, but not serious shooting.  I finally took it to a shoot with witnesses a couple of months ago, and I was really impressed.  So were my witnesses.  I was hitting steel plates at 25 yards consistently.  The only modification was a bit of red paint on the front sights.  I've always had a "thing" for derringers, but this one is a keeper.  I also bought a 410 / .45 colt set of barrels.  Pretty harsh recoil, but load 'em up when in snake country.

I finally took out my 6" barrel .45/.410 out.  My first rounds were .410 target rounds. I expected  some recoil and it delivered. Then  I put in the .45LC, Wow, Now I know why it is a hand cannon. Love it. I bought aftermarket grips from todd@theukerofoz.com.

Just got the Rough N Rowdy 45lc/ 410 gauge, wow what a great gun. I liked it so much that I went back and got the  Roughneck 9mm for my lady. I was pleased to find out that all mode barrels are interchangeable. And their customer service is top-notch.  The lady I talked to you in customer service was very knowledgeable and very friendly, more companies should take notice of that.

I visited Heartland Outdoor in Kansas recently. I’m 68 years old and naturally sway toward different guns, like S&W and Ruger. I’m always on the hunt! I noticed a Bond Arms Texas Defender in 357 Magnum sitting in their handgun cabinet. Sweet little gun! Interesting, but just not on my radar right now. I did, however, look up Bond Arms online when I got home. WOW! I returned to Heartland two days later and took that Texas Defender home with me! I have to say it is one of the finest made handguns I own. The finish is incredible! The way the barrel sounds and feels when it locks in place is also incredible! I did order the “Star-on-Star” extended grip for it. I just need a place for my little finger to rest. Can’t wait to add more calibers for this gun! Thank you, Bond Arms, for a high-quality, easily concealable firearm!

I live in rural Pennsylvania and was first drawn to Bond Arms during the Obama era ammunition droughts. The idea of being stuck somewhere when “The Stuff Hits the Fan” with a handgun and little ammunition was somewhat frightening. The legally carried Bond Arms Snake Slayer in .45 Colt/.410 loaded with Winchester PDX1 and extra barrels in .22 LR, .380 ACP and .327 Federal gave me peace of mind that I could find sufficient ammunition to defend myself. While never being stuck anywhere completely unarmed.

Continuing health issues have made it increasingly difficult to fund “want” purchases. So, I began searching for pre-owned options at local gun shops, as well as online sources. I found the aforementioned on a Gun Broker auction along with the extra barrels.

I’ve since purchased two additional barrels, a .22 WMR and a .357/.38. The second was available at a 50% discount directly from Bond Arms. Since the gun was pre-owned, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this deal still applied. The package is now complete with the addition of a BAD driving holster and a Sticky holster.

Sometime later I requested an extra barrel hinge screw, but due to torn inner and outer packaging, it was lost during USPS transit. I now know this damage was caused by the sharpness of the screw threads, because the replacement envelope arrived in much the same condition. Thankfully, this time the item was still inside. Needless to say, I’m very satisfied with the experiences I’ve had with the customer service department. Thank you for manufacturing such outstanding American-Made handguns. The quality is superb.
