I've been interested in Bond "derringers" for some time.  WHICH ONE?  That was a hard decision, but I finally settled on a Ranger II.  Longer barrel for greater muzzle energy and to allow 3" .410 shells, still very concealable.  .45LC and .410 combo has greater ammo options.  Ordered my Ranger II.  Got it in less than a week.  It was basically everything I'd read and heard about Bond Arms quality, BUT with one little "gremlin."  Bond Customer Service jumped on it immediately and fixed the "gremlin."  My Bond is perfect in every sense.  A handful with heavy loads, but still a joy to shoot. I'm 75 and know that "gremlins" can happen with any product.  So it gets down to Customer Service and Bond, I found, is absolutely exceptional.  VERY RARE to get such a positive response these days.  I sincerely appreciate the Bond brothers for the products they've developed and for the team that makes it happen.  I'm a proud USA veteran who is proud to own an American-made firearm of the quality that is my Bond Arms Ranger II.  God Bless!
