Customer Comments

Ordered my boyfriend parts off amazon for his 22 shot gun. The shipping was quick, and the parts were exactly as I expected. Thank you so much! - Jessica

It is well known that Bond Arms derringers are the best derringers made, and that the craftsmanship is top notch on their products. What many may not know is that their customer service is also top notch. If you are lucky enough to get Kelly Kelley as your customer service rep, you will be very happy. Great products and great service.

What can I say other than I am really very happy with my Snakeslayer. It’s built to last a life time. And it’s hard to believe how well it shoots. On the Bad ASS scale of 1 to 10 It’s a solid 12.

I took my Bond Arms USA Defender out for the first time last weekend. Shot regular 410 shells out of it. Recoil was not as bad as expected. Easy to control. But wear ear protection. It was loud.

I recently Bought a USA Defender and took advantage of the 1/2 price barrel deal. The USA Defender was sweet right from the start, I loved it and everything I read and saw about Bond Arms. However, the true test of a company is how it does when things go wrong. When I test fired it with the 2nd barrel, it locked up repeatedly and quite honestly shook my faith a little. Then I talked to Bob in customer service who worked with me, quickly took the piece back, had it repaired and then next day aired it back to me. I just test fired it and it is sweet again just as before. Bond Arms stood behind their product and took care of business. (I’m thinking no one with a brain would stand in front of a Bond!) Your guns sell themselves but your customers sell you. I will talk you up whenever I get a chance, in fact a buddy just bought a Ranger II after seeing and talking about mine.

Yes, I went to a indoor range to fire my new brown bear, hand cannon. It was a hoot to fire, lots of fun to use, i want to thank you for getting it to California, i have waited a long time to own a bond. Again, thank you.

I am the proud owner of a Brown Bear (California) in 45 Colt. During the un-boxing, I was very pleased with the high quality of the firearm as well as the attention to detail in the manufacture of the firearm.

I’ve been to the range several times and have worked my way up from lighter cowboy action loads to standard defensive rounds in 45 Colt. The recoil have been very manageable. For practice and fun, the lighter loads will work just fine.

For defensive purposes (close in), this is a great point and shoot gun. I did have to work on sighting at 15 yards in order to pass CCW requirements.

The Brown Bear also came with a “BAD” holster which I must admit is growing on me.

By design, this firearm is simple to operate and very reliable. I would definitely recommend this gun as it will fill a niche in many collections. Oh, and it looks cool.

I’ve just been able to shoot my Bond Mini twice due to winter weather. Great little pistol. Recoil was less than expected. I’m left-handed, so I also ordered a LH conversion for the barrel release. This should be easier to operate safely.

So far I own a Bond Arms Mini (.45), .357/.38 barrel, oversize rubber grips, Mini holster, .45/.410 barrel, nylon holster, and a driving holster. Not sure what’s next. As I’ve said before, your courtesy matches your quality, which is outstanding!!! Maybe a .22 long rifle.

I purchased the Snake Slayer IV along with the 2.5″ .45 ACP extra barrel. Either set-up, 4.25″ barrel, .410 ga. or the .45 ACP barrel is without question the most fun you can have with a weapon of this type. Everyone wants to shoot it and all commend the craftsmanship and design. When I tell them there are even more barrel options available that will fit the same frame, you can see the gears turning in their brain.

Either barrel and ammo combination has no more recoil or “kick” than my 1911 .45 or either magnum pistol and lever rifle I currently use.

The Snake Slayer does seem much louder, but I haven’t fired it with a decibel meter at hand. Regardless, it is extremely well made and great fun to shoot. You don’t need to think twice about buying a Bond Arms derringer, just do it.

One thing you guys do need to make is a sew on patch. I know I’ll buy ’em.

Thanks for designing a great weapon.
