Just bought the Bond Defender, 45LC from academy a couple of weeks ago. Finally got it the range today and the Bond Defender exceeded my expectations! The recoil was very manageable, and the accuracy was dead on. Feels like it is an extension of my hand!

This has to be the very best Derringer that I have ever had the pleasure of shooting and owning and it won’t be the last one. I have a three inch barrel for the 2 1/2″ 410 / 45 Long colt, 38 / 357caliber 3 inch barrel and a 4 1/4″ barrel for 3″ 410 / 45 Long colt. You really can change these barrels in 30 seconds or less, absolutely wonderful. The driving holster has allowed me to Carry this “Hand Cannon” comfortably concealed every day.

I got my new barrel and I shot about 30 rounds of 357 and 38 out of my new barrel; I really like this barrel. I was shooting about 15 yds I could not believe how accurate it was.

Hi guys, just wanted to drop you a note about my snake Slayer that I recently purchased. Went to the range couple days ago and got to shoot for the first time and it is absolutely awesome. I really was worried that it would have a very strong kickback, however it is extremely easy to shoot and so much fun! You guys have done an absolutely incredible job on this weapon I love it it’s easy to carry and so much fun Thanks for absolutely phenomenal product! - Russ Mann

Would like to thank you for producing such a well made and powerful “Hand Cannon”. I purchased the Texas Defender in a 3″ 38 SP/.357 Mag with B.A.D Holster. Have enjoyed that combo. Had to order the 410/45 colt in 3.5″ as I own a Taurus Judge and like that round for home defense. What I really like about your product is the the combination of barrels and calibers available, and the ease and fit of changing barrels. Thank you again for a very well made product. (my everyday companion).

I just purchase the gun magnet that was on your web site. I have never seen any thing like it before. I have mounted it underneath a lamp stand next to my easy chair. Out of sight and very handy to reach in case I need it. My wife like it too. Easy for her also. I will be purchasing I few more for my home. the price is a little high, but that is okay. Keep up the good work on your products.

Couldn’t wait to try out this incredible firearm. At the first opportunity to fire it, I loaded two 3 inch Winchester PDX1 Defender shells. I wanted to discover how manageable the recoil would be with a hot load. I have to say in all honesty, the kick was intense, but this thing is so powerful that it is addictive. The ground shakes. I LOVE this gun! I used to typically carry a .357 magnum and 9mm, but I now carry my Snake Slayer IV everywhere. While I now shoot 2 1/2 inch #6 shot for fun, I carry with the PDX1 Defenders loaded and a couple of 3″ 000 buckshot spares. BTW, the DeSantis stealth IWB holster works great, and I can carry extra shells in the magazine holder. Can carry virtually unnoticeable even with a tee shirt and shorts. Very happy with this gun and it is built as everyone says, “like a tank”. And built in the USA. Thank you for making such a great product Gordon. - John D.

I just shot my gun the 410 kicks like a mule and the 45 is a nice round but the 410 is my carry round, The wife also shot both rounds and like the gun, the gun just looks Bad Ass! very well made easy to carry. Nice Job. I also ordered the 357 barrel cant wait to shoot that one!

This is the best for what I want to use the weapon for,protection while driving across the country. I have range and target guns so pin point accuracy is not that important. It also is not a gun for extended range use as you Will notice bit of recoil, however acceptable, and when I get my second barrel I will shoot more for the fun of it. All and all you can’t go wrong this thing will surely be used by my great grandchildren.

It’s been several months since I purchased my Bond Arms “Texas Defender” and I couldn’t be more satisfied. It is better than I expected it to be.

It came with a 3″ 410/45 Colt barrel and I have since purchased at 3.5″ 357 Magnum/38 SP barrel. I have fired several different loads of each caliber of ammo appropriate to the different barrels with 100% success; it worked the first time, everytime.

With a little practice, it was easy to get proficient with this gun up to 7 yards and with some ammo even further.

If you look beyond the excellent quality of design and workmanship, you will see a “KOOL” factor that is unlike most other guns out there. I have owned and shot firearms for more than fifty years and when it comes to quality and shooting enjoyment, this is as good as it gets. Yancy Derringer, where are you?
