My Bond Arms had less of a kick and was easier to shoot than my other two 45 Long Colt pistols.
I was finally able to shoot my Snake Slayer IV.
I was surprised I figured due to it’s size the kick would be greater than my Judge or Uberti,
but to my surprise the opposite was true.

All I can really say after shooting is, “Damn that was awesome, let’s do it again!”
Great job on the Snake Slayer IV!! Keep it up!!













Just a note to let you guys know how pleased I am with my Bond Texas Defender. I recently ordered another barrel and recieved it in just a matter of day, This is not only a quality firearm but a well thought out design. I have the 45/410 barrel that came with it as well as the 40 S&W barrel and am planning on ordering more. I have shot the gun with both barrels and it has become one of my favorite guns to carry as a backup weapon. I find that I carry it more than any other weapon I own and the versatility of it is limitless. Simply change the barrel for the situation that you think you might be in. It might be for hiking with the 410 snake shot or the 45acp or 45colt for self defense none the less thanks for such a great product and rest assured I will be showing mine to friends for them to take a look at. One friend of mine has already purchased on right after seeing mine. thanks again, Dave Gilbert.
I own bond arms Texas defender and Ilove it,however one improvement I wish they would consider is to reengineer the hammer. With the existing hammer it is difficult to cock the weapon. Possibly this could be corrected with a different hammer.

I just ordered a Snakeslayer IV from a dealer in Georgetown, who said there was a huge backlog in orders. They could not tell me when the gun might be delivered to the dealer. Was wondering if you could give me any idea when the order might be filled.
Thanks

After reading the comments I became very concerned about the trigger pull, I have arthritis and the strength in my hand is not what it use to be. My question is can you special order any Bond pistol with a lighter pull or does it have to be done by my local gunsmith ?
Walter,
The pull is not difficult, it is different. You pull down and towards you and the pull is very easy. If you have questions you can call us, our phone number is on the website.
