I bought a new Bond Arms .410/.45 in January. Tonight my son-in-law came in from work after dark and heard a noise, now known to be rattling going on the side of his house (next door to mine). He thought he had a bad water leak but after walking up to the outside AC unit, he shined his cell phone light and saw the 4-4 1/2' Diamondback Rattlesnake behind his AC condenser.

My daughter called and asked if we were tapping on her window and after walking outside, her husband was yelling for her to bring him his gun. I grabbed my Bond Arms which was already loaded with two 2 1/2" #6 lead shot and took it to him. One shot and one dead poisonous snake. The snake's neck and head were pouring blood.

I told my wife that the Bonds handgun just paid for itself, because my young grandchildren play outside everyday and could have been bitten.
