I was going through my NRA magazine looking for a small but powerful hand gun. I came across an ad for Bond Arms, went to the web and and decided on The “USA Defender”. I called one of several gun stores in the area asking if they have the DEFENDER. They said they have a Bond Arms coming in but until it gets here they don’t know what model it would be. I got a call the next Friday saying a Bond Arms gun came in and it was the Defender with a holster. Put a hold on it and said I would be in Monday. Went to the store Monday checked out the Defender and went to the front of the store to fill out paper work. As the women was filling out the papers she asked me to read off the serial number. To my great surprise the serial number just happened to be my star number that I had for 25 yrs. on a police dept. Just outside of Chicago. I love the USA DEFENDER and it was meant to be. - Richard Boyce
