I purchased the bond Texas Defender 410 with 3 inch barrel for a summer carry pistol. It fits nicely in my shorts front pocket. The 410 shoots 4 pellet nicely, with out any big recoil. Frankly I think my Beretta 45 snaps more. I have also ordered the 357\38 barrel. I cant wait to try it. The gun has excellent fit and finish is easy to hold and shoot. I highly recommend this pistol for those times when you want to defend yourself but not carry a huge pistol. the 410 will get it done and then some. Thanks Bond Arms. - H. Joy
