I found your website thru the NRA, and first off I need to say thank God for them. I accessed your site and learned so much from your instructional videos, they helped with making sure I chose the right gun, and especially enjoyed the walk thru showing each type of gun and how they would apply to me. Actually learn d more from your site than the NRA, once again, thank you! - Dave, Indiana

I received my Snake Slayer went to the local gun range last weekend. Tacked up a 12″ paper plate on the 25 foot target board. Loaded both barrels with .410 rounds. Fired. These two rounds were both at the top of the target. Two more rounds made a nice pattern. Then for the .45 rounds. These were at the bottom of the plate, center. Very minimal recoil. I was very surprised. Fired 8 more rounds (.45) and got a nice 3″ pattern about 2″ to the right of center (most likely me pulling to the right). Very happy with the results. So happy, I ordered the .357/.38 barrel. It will be here before the weekend. So guess where I’m going Saturday? Very nice weapon.

Recently received my first firearm from Bond Arms (BATD 45LC/410 w TG) for my gun collection. This is truly an outstandingly high quality and magnificently designed derringer in every aspect. Terrific eye appeal and functionality. Well Done!

As a retired L/E officer I carried many different buns off duty, now, I carry as my conceal weapon of choice my bonds, 4.25″ barrel 38. This gun shoots great, and it is fun to shoot. My 11 year old Granddaughter shoots it with snake shot, and loves it. Thanks guys, great guns you make, and I also have the 45/410 snake slayer.

I fired it today using, 45 LC, 410 slugs, number five, and triple buck, it handles very well. Loves to twist in your hand. Holding tight helps this somewhat. I destroyed three targets completely by the time I had finished. I have no problem with accuracy especially with the 45 LC and 410 triple buck. Most impressive, I will cherish his Bond Derringle. Thanks for making it.

I recently fired my brand new Patriot for the first time at 20 feet with both .45 and .410’s and was very happy with the performance of the gun but not of the shooter. Looking forward to shooting this gun often when I’m in my rural travels here in Michigan!

I have snake slayer 410 3.5in. Also have 357 and 22long rifle barrels. Shot the 410 and wow, this thing is bad news at 7 yards. Will use 3in 5 000 buckshot load for personal protection. Thanks Bond Arms.

I recently had an issue with the trigger guard on my Snake Slayer. I was unable to successfully send pictures of the issue. Joe Woodard in CS called/e-mailed me for some information as to the nature of the issue. After a short,pleasant and very professional conversation the concern was readily and easily resolved. I was not the original owner of the firearm,but this made no difference to Bond Arms or Joe. A new part has been sent at no cost. Joe went above and beyond trying to contact me and support the product. Well Done Joe and Bond Arms!! That one interaction prompted me to purchase another barrel in 10mm and possibly another firearm in the future. Thank You.

I bought a Snake Slayer. Loved the design (yeah, I’m nostalgic; still use a blade razor and carry a pocket watch). Built like a dump truck, machined like a watch? You bet!! Have a .22 barrel for plinking and for drills. Keep .410 000 shot shells for carry. And I do carry it. Small, unobtrusive, always available. Exceptional value. Bought my wife one, the Texas Ranger edition. She loves it too. Would recommend it with no qualifications to anybody.

My wife and I are involved with an Old West re-enactment group out of Fort Smith, Arkansas. I had been looking for a Derringer type piece to be used in our performances as I enjoy portraying different characters in the 1870’s to 1890’s time period. We are sticklers for authenticity and it is difficult to find actual Derringers from the period that don’t cost thousands of dollars, or are so cheaply made that it would be what I would call a “holster hanger” for looking at and not firing.

I chose the .45 LC for my wife to use as her character is that of a Madam and we found the pistol to be very close in appearance to the older models, but the Bond Arms piece is extremely well made and dependable. It is not exactly like the older models, but it is safe and fits into our skits very well.

I appreciate the craftsmanship of the pistol and know that I do not have to be concerned whether we are using it in our portrails or as a concealed carry piece should we ever decide to use it as such.

Very Respectfully,
Bill Rooth
Thank-you for providing a great piece for our re-enactments.
