No need to encourage me to purchase one of your fine derringers, I already did!
No need to encourage me to purchase one of your fine derringers, I already did! I live in Maryland and ran into a problem at time of purchase. The USA Defender was not listed on the ‘approved list’ for the state of Maryland to be legally sold. I patiently waited for the next update to the list only to find that it was still not on it. In the meanwhile, my derringer sits in the safe of the company I bought it from awaiting the needed approval.
I finally got in touch with “Al” at Bart’s Sporting Goods who happened to know someone on the board who approved all handguns to be sold in the state. After a brief discussion, it was determined that the USA Defender did not need to be added to the list since the original “Defender” model was previously approved and on the list. Boy, talk about a bureaucracy!
Anyway, I will pick up my USA Defender this Saturday and let you know.
Sincere Regards,
Alan
Good info
For yers i have been in search of a 410 pistol. This is due to the fact that I have a ranch in Texas on which rattle snakes love to roam. For years my kids and i would carry a 410 single shot rifle which is cumbersome and as a result stayed in the gun cabinet.
The Bond Snake Slayer is the perfect answer. First, it is better made than any other comprable pistol Second, great safty. Third, the over and under gives you advantage over a single shot. If you can not kill the snake with two shots you had better turn tail and run. Fourth, the inter changeable barrels are extensive and gives options.
I find that the 2 1/2 noumber 9 410 shot is perfect for snakes and that the 2 1/2 inch rifled single slug works for wild boar protection.
I have many hand guns; the Bond Derringer is preeminent for close-in work,
