I purchased the Snake Slayer IV along with the 2.5″ .45 ACP extra barrel. Either set-up, 4.25″ barrel, .410 ga. or the .45 ACP barrel is without question the most fun you can have with a weapon of this type. Everyone wants to shoot it and all commend the craftsmanship and design. When I tell them there are even more barrel options available that will fit the same frame, you can see the gears turning in their brain.

Either barrel and ammo combination has no more recoil or “kick” than my 1911 .45 or either magnum pistol and lever rifle I currently use.

The Snake Slayer does seem much louder, but I haven’t fired it with a decibel meter at hand. Regardless, it is extremely well made and great fun to shoot. You don’t need to think twice about buying a Bond Arms derringer, just do it.

One thing you guys do need to make is a sew on patch. I know I’ll buy ’em.

Thanks for designing a great weapon.
