I enjoy my Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV. It is a lot of fun shooting 3″ .410 shells. The gun is very well built. I have already bought another barrel (.40 s&w) and other accessories for it. I would like to get all of the caliber barrels my friends and family have, so when they go shooting I can easily join in. The barrels are very easy to change and you even get an allen wrench with your new barrel. It makes the perfect personal defense item.

I just got back from a two day hiking/camping trip in the North Georgia Mountains on the Appalachian trail. I carried the Texas Defender in the Bond Arms sticky pocket holster in my front hip pocket while hiking for 12 miles over strenuous mountain terrain. I did not find the 20oz weight of this gun to be difficult to carry in the pocket at all, most of the time I didn’t notice the weight at all. I also think since this pistol is stainless steel and has less moving parts than other compact handguns that it will have a fewer malfunctions when exposed to rain and dirt in a outdoor environment. I have never had a problem with bears while hiking in the mountains, but the large caliber options for this handgun I think would appeal to people who like to carry some protection against bear attacks. It doesn't matter if you carry it in the city or the woods, Bond arms makes the best handgun on the market.

Very impressed with this hand cannon. Holds a fairly tight pattern of pellet placement at 15 yrds, and pretty accurate with the .45 loads as well. This is currently my “carry”, as I like the idea of having 5 pellets of 00 buck shot (X2) going “downrange” at 1150fps (Muzzle Vel. w/ 3″ shells). I think this makes a great self-defense pistol.

Finally got a chance to shoot my new Snake Slayer 3-1/2″ using 000 buc (4 round pellets) and #4 shot shells because I am not near a shotgun range. I used Federal and Remington defensive rounds. You have to hang on to the gun. Kicks pretty good but manageable. Got perfect round holes about the size of a .38 in the target when using the 000 buc. Shot 16 rounds. You would not want to shoot 50 rounds at one time. Your hand will hurt. From a defensive view, after the first shot, your target will drop from either the 4 pellets or a heart attack. It is a scary gun from the target’s view. Lots of fun to shoot. I shot about 30′ from the target and still managed a ten inch spread. Normally, you would be closer to your attacker. This is my new carry gun. It conceals nicely. It will replace my Glock 36 which imprints. I also own a Ruger Blackhawk Convertible 45acp/45lc. I will try the 45lc bullets at a later time. Am thinking about ordering your 45acp barrel and selling my Glock. Thanks for making such a great gun. I should have bought it sooner.

I bought the new 45acp as a backup to my Glock 19. I got a Snake Slayer 3 “barrel, black stag grip and rubber hogue grip to add more control and comfort. It has replaced the glock as my main carry, and I now use the glock as backup. Love the power and ” built like a tank” statement is no joke. Thanks Bond for my new favorite pistol!

My wife had a stroke years ago and lost a lot of her strength in her right side. She wanted protection to carry so we went looking to get her a gun . We purchased a Glock 42 for her but she had a hard time cocking the gun so i looked into the Bond Girls Mini 38/357 for her at Christmas she loves it, wore it all day Christmas even though i wouldn’t give her a bullet till she shoots it at the range. She now carrys with ammo and can hit targets.She loves it and can shoot it accurately.

I purchased a Bond arms snake slayer in Dec. 2015. Then I ordered holsters and other items from the web site. I was amazed at the ease of ordering and the way bonds arms followed up via email to insure I received and was satisfied with my purchase.The holsters were way more than I had hoped for. The quality was awesome. As for the Snake Slayer it is an idea carry for me,when it barks people notice. I love it.

Thank you does not begin to say what I feel for this man, and his company. Mr. Bond did an upgrade on my Cowboy Defender. The action is so much better. But more than that he did this at his expense. Being disabled from an attack by a Moslem, I carry this as a backup. After telling my story, Mr. Bond offered to do this up grade at his expense.

I received this firearm yesterday, 12-24-15. I am going to take it out this Saturday to shoot it. Mr. Bond I am willing to do a publicity shoot for you. Showing the ease of use, etc. I am your debt sir. Merry Christmas to you, your family, and your employees. God Bless America!

I can’t speak high enough of Bond. I recently did some unintended disassembly to one of my Bond derringers. Rather embarrassed I called them. Joe was not only gracious, he was funny and had my sweet USA Defender repaired and back to me with plenty of time left to go partridge hunting. Yes, I use mine to hunt the thick woods up here in Vermont. Love these guns.

Fired the 357/38 barrel but not the 22LR as yet. The weight of the derringer handles the recoil very well so able to have good accuracy.
