I’ve fired my new Snake Slayer two times with different range buddies. One of them is a little scared of it. It’s a handcannon alright. The other friend thinks it’s the coolest thing and wants to get one. I like shooting the 3″ Federal 5 pellet load quickly from hip. It kicks pretty good and the pellet spread seems about perfect from defense distances. I have the Bond Arms IWB and pocket holsters. The IWB really tucks away nicely by my kidney. The pocket carry is a little bulky, but I still like it. I ordered a left hand locking lever and it installed perfectly. If you think you want a Bond Arms gun get one.

I first saw in Concealed Carry Handguns Magazine. I had to have it. Shot as soon as I could get out to the country. Very little recoil for such a beast!

I was apprehensive about spending so much money on the extended stag grips, but all doubts were erased when I received them. Extremely high quality. See for yourself.

Just took my new acquisition out last weekend – handled well on first firing. (Don’t forget earplugs – it’s a popper!). Had to get used to the heavy trigger pull but understand that will get better as the gun is used more. Tried a number of different types of ammo (several different 410 loads and 45 LC) to see spray pattern and had a little issue with miss-fires after about 12 rounds. Gun was cleaned well before going out and cleaned again when done. Will take out again soon. Overall impressed with this little guy – love the size and workmanship. Well made and nice to handle.

The .410 in my back pocket is a great feeling. I just hope I do not get into a situation where I will need to use. But if I need it, I have it ready. I have not had a chance to try the .45 ACP barrel yet.

I bought the Snake Slayer and boy am I ecstatic. It shoots true and is easy to handle. I shot both 45 Colt and a variance of .410 rounds and said to myself: “This gun is scary.” I will be using it as my backup piece from now on while working. Thanks Bond Arms for this quality piece.

Just purchased a Ranger II. I love it. - Paul R

I’m a new happy owner of a Snake Slayer IV. Pocket cannon it is. It’s just awesome. Just got the holster. Also awesome. I hope Crimson will make a laser grip for it someday.

Great little hand cannon. 410/45 combo is the best combination there is to me. I have a Snake Slayer. I have concealed carry but I carry the Snake Slayer on my hip. The most favorite gun I have. Thank you for making a great gun.

I’ve owned the Snake Slayer for a little over a month and kept it for night-time home protection. I also carried it for a few days as my CCW. I finally was able to get to the range and test it out and boy was I surprised. I shot Winchester 2 1/2″, 3″ PDX1 .410 Defender shot as well as Winchester Super X 45 Colt. I was ready for a bit of a kick, but after the first shot shell blast, I set the gun down for a minute to reconnoiter. Other shooters at the range also paused and asked what I was shooting. This is definitely NOT too much gun, my only recommendation is that you take it to the range to become acclimated to the power. Don’t use it for personal defense like I did without understanding its performance. At the range, I shot at a realistic 5 yards, which would be a typical distance if an intruder/culprit is your target. ONE shot with a .410 shell will most undoubtedly stop an invader (he will not ask for another). The sound alone coming at him will make him shake in his boots. Every shot I took at the range hit the target where I wanted…even the second shot (though I was still a little intimidated). This is a precision instrument…so well engineered. I am very glad I made this purchase. Once again, I recommend that you must get it to the range soonest and get some practice first before using it for self defense.
