Purchased the Patriot for a Christmas present for myself, what a fine quality well constructed piece! Took it out and shot it and what a pleasure! Thought it would have more kick but was surprised that it was very manageable! I ordered the 4.25 barrel in the same caliber 45/410, and another quality piece from Bond. I am going to order a Snake Slayer also, that is how much I am impressed with Bond Arms! Keep up the great American work and pride!
