Texas Defender

I'm a retired Marine and LEO here in Texas. I'm also an old man and I'm disabled. I'm sometimes in a wheelchair and sometimes on a walker/cane. So I needed something for self-protection that could be managed with one, had stopping power, and didn't need a lot of extra equipment. Wallah! The Bond Arms Texas Defender. Bought mine at Lindale's Guitars & Guns. It's always in my pocket. I feel very safe and confident with it. I call it the "Don't mess with me" gun. No more worrying about getting in/out of my truck and getting mugged.  Thank you Bond Arms. Oh & of course, it shoots mighty fine! I recommend learning how to set up the hammers so you know which barrel will fire first & make the lower barrel fire first. Trust me on this!

Doug is my name, but this review is not about me or my opinions it's about a very high quality very safe tool that I will count on if my life is ever in danger. The Texas Defender I have recently purchased fits my hand very well 410/45 colt will do the job with a 3 inch barrel don't be afraid of reaching out beyond your normal personal defense yardage. I've only ran this gun 5, 7 ,9 yards with 410 birdshot and all hits were on paper. Believe me when I tell you I'm not a professional shooter, but the 45 colt is hitting consistently from 30 yards. This is from a three inch barrel, so if anyone is worried about accuracy as I was, you can rest easy with a little practice aiming an over/under can be done. That being said, the craftsmanship of BOND ARMS derringers is just unmatched. This little, very concealable, powerful, and beautiful derringer feels like a hand tank! Yes, you only have two shots at your disposal, but if you do your research most up close defense situations are less than two shots. Besides, I don't think anyone wants to be hit by two defensive 410 shotgun blasts.
