I am a very proud owner of the Bond Arms Rustic Ranger, exclusive to Cabelas sports store. I love to take it to the range to try out all my new barrels. Also to show it off. Everyone loves it. You can see and feel the quality in this beautiful gun. Now I have just tried out my new Bond Arms Bullpup. I waited a long time for this gun, but the wait was worth it. The quality can also be seen and felt in this new gun. The best slide action I have ever used. I just shot 200 rounds from this new Bullpup and loved every shot. The double action is soooooo smooth. I worry about my wife trying it. I may have to buy another one. I know the cost was a little more than other firearms, but the quality will be enjoyed many years. I am very proud of these two quality firearms. Thank You Bond Arms!

P.S. Those who complain about the price, have never held this gun in their hand.

I recently bought my very first Bond Arms product. I have been reading about them for months and finally decided to buy one after watching every video on your website and online. I selected the Ranger II and ordered it and had it sent to my local gun store that does not currently carry Bond Arms Products. When I was fillling out my paper work everyone in the store wanted to look at my new Ranger II. The gun store manager even wanted to shoot it on their gun range.
I am so pleased with the quality of your product and am proud to be the owner of such a fine piece of craftmanship. I can't put it down. And the holster that came with gun is also fantastic. The fit is perfect and just enhances the gun even more. Even though I have a concealed carry permit, I have never found the right gun to carry, until now. It is the Ranger II.
I have been collecting guns for years to pass on to my two boys as a inhertance. I have never wanted to buy two of the same gun to add to the collection until now.
I am trying to decide on my next Bond Arm purchase so each of the boys will have one. What will be my decision, Ranger II, Texan or Patroit. One son is a Border Patrol Agent so I think he should get the Ranger II. My other son is a disabled Army veteran injured in Afganistan. So I am thinking the Patroit should be my next choice.
Everyone that is researching or considering a Bond Arms purchase, do not hesitate in your decision. Pick any one they offer and you will be elated with the quality and design. Thank you Mr. Bond for creating this product and starting a company to build and offer it to the gun buying public.

This new pocket 9mm, the Bullpup, is as small or smaller than most pocket 380s. The fit and finish is every bit Bond Quality. To say it is well built is an understatement since it has been designed and built with precision. The action is smooth and light beyond any semi-auto I have ever tired. The trigger is double action but there is no creep or drag of any kind. The trigger is smoother than any revolver or semi-auto that I have ever handled. At a glance the barrel appears to be 1/2" but is just over 3" with over 4 3/4" sight radius. This combination gives it target accuracy. I have fired over 500 rounds of 115 gr FMJ Flocchi ammunition and Hornady 135 gr Flex Lock ammunition. If all of these features are not good enough, I saved the best for last. The magazine holds 7 rounds of 9mm, is made of all steel with a coil spring and black hard plastic base. I have shown many people the magazine (loaded and empty) and they all reacted the same way: Oh My! I have never seen anything like this. They load so easy. The best thing I can say about this pistol is that if you think the Bond Derringer is good, the Bullpup is even better!

I have wanted one of these guns for many reasons, but the main reason was for its western look. I just had to own one because I love westerns and guns! This gun Is a work of art! Pure quality! I got more then just a awesome conversation piece. I was very impressed when I went outside and fired a 3 inch 410 shot at a milk jug from about 10-15 feet away and sent the jug rolling. I was expecting the recoil/kick to be way much more then it was. Now I can't put the darn thing down. Now I want to add the 357/38 barrel to my new Cowboy Toy!
I can't say enough about the quality, workmanship, and beauty of this awesome firearm!

Good Friday was great for me. In the morning I went to the gun shop and picked up the Texan I had ordered. Great looking gun. That afternoon I received the grips I had ordered. I put the small pearlite white grips on my Backup. Made it pop. Great Guns, Great Company. Thank you Bond Arms.

I love shooting my Bond Arms Texas Defender. I have way to many pistols but this was my first derringer. I purchased a 3 1/2" Snake Slayer barrel too. The 3 " 410 rounds with 000 Buck shoots 5 nice size projectiles in a nice pattern. What a great self defense round. "One bullet 5 shots" and a loud BOOM did I say BOOM would likely send attackers fleeing. The one you hit aint getting up even if he was 250 LBS and high on PCP. Now that I have practiced with it a few times I feel real comfortable using it as a carry gun. Now for my word of CAUTION for EXPERIENCED gun owners that haven't shot a derringer before. The Trigger is definitely an issue until you have practiced with it. I bought mine, read (not well enough I found out) the instructions, took it to the range (until I range test a new gun they stay in the box) and had a extremely hard time getting it to fire. I came home Googled Bond Arms Trigger and watched some videos and realized the part where it says "Pull down on trigger and back" was a big deal. Glad I tested it out before I needed it.

I purchased my Cowboy Defender on sale at my local Academy; it came with the .22mag barrel set. I ordered the .22lr set to go with it, along with the .380 that was being sold at half price. I never could get either .22cal set to consistently fire. I contacted the manager at BA; they said that probably customers had been dry-firing the gun. I ended up making test shots, photographing them, then sending the pistol back to BA. Within a short time, I learned that they were replacing the entire pistol and both .22cal barrel sets under warranty. Additionally, because I'm left handed, when they built a new pistol for me they put the release on the 'right' side for me. I have purchased additional barrel sets along with the extended rubber grips; this gun is finished better than a lot of women's jewelry I've seen. I'm waiting, as are others, for that 6" barrel set for .410 to become available to add to my pistol. I've seen other, cheaper derringers at gun shows--none of them come close to the quality of this gun. And I'll bet they also won't match the high level of customer service. I'm sold!

I bought a new Bond Arms .410/.45 in January. Tonight my son-in-law came in from work after dark and heard a noise, now known to be rattling going on the side of his house (next door to mine). He thought he had a bad water leak but after walking up to the outside AC unit, he shined his cell phone light and saw the 4-4 1/2' Diamondback Rattlesnake behind his AC condenser.

My daughter called and asked if we were tapping on her window and after walking outside, her husband was yelling for her to bring him his gun. I grabbed my Bond Arms which was already loaded with two 2 1/2" #6 lead shot and took it to him. One shot and one dead poisonous snake. The snake's neck and head were pouring blood.

I told my wife that the Bonds handgun just paid for itself, because my young grandchildren play outside everyday and could have been bitten.

The wife and I had been eyeballing the Bond Derringers for quite some time, and finally ordered ours about a month ago. I was torn between the 3 1/2 inch barrel on the C2K and the extended grips of the Papa Bear, but decided on the longer barrel for the 3 inch .410 capability. My wife was dead set on the Mama Bear. We picked up some ammo and took them out to get a feel for them. The 45/.410 is very manageable, even with 3 inch 000 buck, and surprisingly accurate. The Mama Bear was very snappy with the .357, but the .38 was a dream to shoot. Not sure if it's the ammo or the shorter barrel, but the .357 seemed to recoil much more than the .410. Afterwards we brought them home to clean, and saw that the lettering on one side of the grips on the Mama Bear was incomplete. Sent an email, and Liz sent us another set with no issue whatsoever. I would recommend these firearms to anyone, and I know my Bond is here to stay.

Last fall I purchased a Texas Defender 38sp/357. Wow, what a gun. Handles great and packs a punch, particularly the .357. Then I found out about the promo from Bond Arms in November for 50% off extra barrel. I contacted them and said I bought mine in October, no problem, they sent me the coupon code for the barrel. So I ordered the Snake Slayer IV 45colt/410 4.25" Barrel.

Definitely added some beef to the gun, but man is it fun to shoot. Now that packs some punch in 45colt. Local indoor range won't let me shoot 410 so I have to wait for a lil nicer weather at the outdoor range.

You should see the looks from other shooters when I unpack the Bond. Everybody wants to know what it is and want to see it.

Lots of fun and surprisingly easy to handle. Love it. Now I need a IWB holster.
