I have wanted a Bond Arms Derringer since you folks have opened your doors for business. I even considered moving to Texas just so I could buy one. Then I happen to see DOJ’s new list with California on it. I think I own number 38 made for CA. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. For firing a 45 long colt the recoil is not bad at all. I recommend a Bond Arms Derringer to anyone who wants up close personnel protection. You’ll sleep well at night.

Went shooting my Bond Arms Ranger II last week I was apprehensive about shooting 410 shells from a small barrel. I was pleasantly surprised by the recoil of the Sellier and Bellott 2 and 1/4 000 3 pellet buck shot. The recoil was very moderate, and performed well at 10′ I also shot the Winchester PDX defensive disc 12 pellets combo. The recoil was stout in comparison to the other brand. I did upgrade to the Jumbo rosewood grips and will give another range report. Overall very pleased with my Ranger II it rides with me everyday as my primary weapon. Thanks Bond for a winner.

This gun the Century 2000 is everything as advertised. I have fired 5 different types of ammo with it. Started with 410 defense, 410 00 buck, 410 3 inch bird shot, a 410 21/2 inch bird shot, plus the 45 colt bullet. All were easy to load, unload and were right on target. Cleaning the gun afterwards was almost effortless. It is a great solid defense weapon, very durable.

Not just American made, Texas made! Great product, great service really went above and beyond for my project. Two tone stainless, action job and memory relief on the grip. Thanks again everyone keep up the good work its something y’all can be very proud of!

It took me about a year of looking, hefting, and research but I finally settled on a Rustic Ranger from our nearest Cabela’s. I can not add anything to what has already been said about the build quality, fit and finish. It is superb! I was a little skeptical about the claims Gordon Bond made, on various videos, about how the BAD holster fits so well that you will forget you are wearing it. He was correct, it works that well. I am a CHL holder in this state and carry every day in an area that may present two legged as well as four legged “concerns”. After I tested the Ranger with 3″/000 buckshot loads and .45 Colt Self defense loads I am confident the Ranger will handle both concerns.

After a small problem with my Bond Arms Defender I contacted the service department via email. Their reply was quick and personal. I was contacted via phone personally and each subsequent time by the same person. I was kept up to date on each step of the process and no call was ended before I assured them I understood and was satisfied with what was going on. Thank you for all your help

My new Snake Slayer IV is now one of my favorite guns. We finally had a day above 15 deg. F, so I was able to test the gun. I tried Federal Personal Defense 410 Handgun 3″ 000 Buck, 3″ 4 Buck and some 45 Colt ammo. The 000 Buck is fairly stout, so I probably won’t be practicing with this shell until I get my Jumbo grips and am wearing my PAST glove. The other rounds were fine with my very large hands and the extended grips. I have also ordered a 357/38 4.25″ barrel, a 45 ACP 3″ barrel and some holsters. The controls and safety features on the gun are superior to any other derringer I found. Every enthusiast should handle a Bond Arms gun. But be forewarned. You may end up re-thinking your handgun choices and have to buy one of them

I just picked up my Snake Slayer last Friday and I can’t put it down. The design of the pistol is a work of art. I have wanted one for a long time so this has been a great couple of days. This is by far my favorite gun and I have a few.

I added the Snake Slayer IV to my collection last week. I just got a chance to fire it this past weekend. All I can say is “WOW!”. When firing .45 LC’s it has no more kick than my Colt 1911, a much heavier handgun. I was totally surprised. I expected it to kick like a mule. It is smooth and well balanced. Then I loaded it up with .410 6 shot. Let me tell you, you had better be ready! It has a substantial recoil but, what do you expect from a hand cannon? I love this weapon! It is my new conceal piece. I like the fact that I can build on this platform and change it to a .38/.357 or a 9 mm or a .22. What an awesome all around gun.

Thank you so much for the speedy handling of my exchange. The side holster works so much better for me. Bless you Kelly and your fine organization. I’m a big fan and turn everyone I know interested about your products. I shared your great service with my brother and he is a huge fan too.
