Great gun and easy to control. Waiting for the 357 barrel that I ordered. Recoil is mild with Hornady Critical Defence 45 Colt ammo.

My Snake Slayer is all I had hoped it would be. Barrels change in seconds. The firearm is built like a tank. A two level hard case has been set up for it, its barrels, and ammo. Well done, Bond Arms.

Got a 3.5 inch 45colt / 410 love it better balance what’s not to love about having a barrel that shoots two different shells, got an extra large grip which feels great in my hand. Ordered the rubber extended grip for different feel, I love this gun, able to stop anything out there. Keep up the great work fit and finish is one off the best I’ve seen.

Great Darrenger.no problems with anything.well made.i need another one and will be buying the backup.it would be good to have a conceal carry holster like the sneaky pete holster where you can carry in plain sight.great job Texas and Gordon bond and company.also great knife.

I just purchased a new Texas Defender w/ 410 / 45. The first time shooting it was a little intimidating. The second time I love it. I have ordered another barrel w/ the 50% off coupon which is a 38 / 357. I know I am going to enjoy shooting it. It will be my ccw of choice. Thanks so much for such a quality product.

Fired my new Snakeslayer in 45/410! It sure has a bite, but so much fun to shoot. Shot 410 3inch shot loads and they covered target at 10yds. Then tried 3inch PDX loads at same distance. They did.

A lot of fun shooting my snakeslayer. It has a little kick to it but easy to handle.

I have seen the adds for Bond Arms guns for quite a while in my American Rifleman magazine. my decision to buy one was made after going to the website and watching the many videos about them on You Tube The Cowboy Defender is a perfect example of modern materials and attention to detail during assembly. I have made three trips to the shooting range with mine and have carried it in the Bond driving holster with Hornady critical defense 410 ammo.

I was in the local pawn shop again and found another Bond Arms pistol. This one a Cowboy Defender was just as nice as the first (Texas Defender). These pistols are such a great deal and exceptional quality someone would have to be in dire need of money to sell. These little pistols are built like a tank only stronger, I bought it immediately and now have two. With their lifetime warranty and very friendly staff these pistols will last a lifetime and a great pistol to pass on to future generations. I know about quality and having a weapon you can depend on being a Vietnam Veteran. You make a great pistol Bond arms, keep up the great work!

Thank you kindly Bond Arms for making a derringer that is California legal! Our ranch in California’s high desert has seen just about every kind of snake that lives in the region. (We don’t harm the non-venomous kind.) Carrying a shotgun while completing daily chores and doing improvement work increases the potential for a problem or at least a damaged shotgun. .22 caliber shot shells are not usually effective and putting a .38, .357 or .45 shot shell in my carry guns is out of the question. The Bond Arms Big Bear in .45 Colt is the perfect answer! Thank you!
