As beautiful as the Texas Ranger Commemorative derringer looks on your website, pictures just can’t do it justice. It is an absolute work of art!! And it handles just as fantastically!!

Purchased a Snake Slayer IV last month, shot 50 rounds of 45 colt through it on Friday the 13th…could not believe how low the recoil was…was expecting a lot bigger kick, would have shot more but was all the ammo I had! Anxious to try some 410 in her. The grip to trigger configuration feels a little awkward, but with such low recoil should be able to adapt my hold. Extremely satisfied, can’t wait to shoot again.

I have owned a Texas Defender in 45LC and do not go on any road trips without it ! I purchased the car holster along with new grips the rosewood and star. The holster is comfortable to wear for long periods of time and is great when you are carrying concealed it’s like it’s not even there ! There are only two derringers allowed to be sold in Maryland and Bond Arms is the one I choose great quality and a beautiful handgun . Who could ask for more ! Well worth the money, so get your own this one is mine and I’m not giving it up !!!

I only had a chance to shoot 2 bullets just to see which chamber fired first. It didn’t have as much kick as i thought it would Love it so far. I carry it in my pocket while in my drive way cleaning snow. for that “just in case” time. - Dave B.

I’ve owned a Texas defender since 2013 and now a snake slayer 1V. I really love the Bond arms. My ext stag grips are awesome!!

“Hand Canon” is the perfect description, built like a tank. Workmanship is first class and shows pride in manufacturing. I ordered a Mini 45 and am not disappointed…everything works perfectly and the gun goes Bang every time. I have also ordered the 3″ 45lc/410, perfect for in the car. Two thumbs up, you can’t go wrong!

Glenn, after purchasing my Snake Layer from Cabellas, my son and I took it to the range and put 30 rounds of 45 Long Colt and 20 rounds of 3″ 410 rounds through the gun at 10 yards. It took us a few rounds to get used to the recoil and just the fact that we were shooting a derringer, but we eventually were able to hit our target. And we’re very impressed with the overall quality of the gun. I purchased the BA-Driving Holster and really like it. My friends just love it and you’ll be getting more orders from this area. Thanks for making a quality carry gun. Ted from St. Louis.

Purchased snake slayer year ago it worked very good. Got the extra 357 mag barrel worked great. Awesome gun highly recommended!

I purchased the Snake Slayer IV 357/.38, then added the driving holster and a 3″ 9mm barrel. Having the option to change caliber allows me to make better use of the ammo I have on hand. Thought I would mostly be shooting the 9mm, but the 4.25″ .38 is so solid I am getting excellent accuracy with it. This is a really fun gun to shoot and you’ll definitely get some looks at the range.

I bought my Texas Defender about 3 years ago because I travel a lot on the road and wanted some extra security. I requested your brochure because I needed a way carry it safely while driving. I ended up buying the velcro attached horizontal leather holster and it is great. Easy access to your weapon when seated and seat belted in your vehicle. Just attach it to the right or left side of your belt buckle (I attach mine to the right side because I am left handed) and you can draw and fire by only moving your arm while seated in your vehicle. Best design I have ever seen. Heck I can keep one hand on the wheel and cap an aggressor before he could know what happened. I also got the 4 round belt clip ammo holder that gives me 6 rounds to take care of business. Now it’s only gun that I carry on the road for security. Next I’m getting a 4 inch barrel so I can fire 3 inch magnum 410 rounds. I don’t leave home without my Bond Arms “Texas Defender”. Accurate, quick reload, and easy access. I’m a 25 year military veteran with 8 combat tours and this by far one of the simplest well thought out guns I have ever fired.
