The baby .410 would be a good mover in Melbourne at the moment.

That is one neat `hand cannon'. I'll have one too.

[Brett Pee]

We don't need pieces like that in Perth- mebbe in Melbourne, definitely in Sydney. But if some bastard enters my place in the middle of the night i won't be thinking twice about blasting their brains out with an illegally owned shotgun.

[irving finkle]

is it legal to fedex them into AUS from the US, cuz the store up the road has two of them. one is the 45/410 and i think the other is a 357. they're about $400 USD.

[mary guill]

i would like to know about the engraving

Hey there down under.

My names Jesse, and I live here in Seattle, State of Washington, USA

Got a good buddy who just bought one of these Hand Cannons, and he love's the thing. It is a very heavy little bastard, but the machining and finish are way better than the American Derringer Company's.

He has only had to pull it once,on a Big black snake,
six feet,300 pounds, guy wanted his car ?
Didn't get it either !

I served in the Navy back in '84, and visited Perth/Fremantle and Sydney, had a ass kickin' good time on your west coast, but Sydney was too much like my own fucked up America, lot's of freaks and fairies.

Anyhow I live in a pretty dangerous neighborhood and carry either my Ruger Sp101 .357 MAG or my cute little Berretta Bobcat .22 semi-auto, with Stinger hollow points, never know when a snake may crawl onto your path.

Love to talk guns and beer with you blokes.

i have a 22lr. derringer and was wondering if i could buy differnt barrels say a 45/410 or a 38. or anything bigger would it fit?? thanks

[Lguy]

Has anybody here fired one of those? how mean is the recoil and how accurate is this thing?

[Richard Wagner]

Reply to Lguy. I have fired my 410 Bond several times at 8-10 ft. Don't know how many meters that is, but the pattern of 3 slugs would fit inside a large dinner plate. Was totally amazed at 'tightness'.

[Mark Garcia]

overpriced

[Mark Garcia]

Jesse, barrels are not interchangeable on these.

[Myron D. Daniels]

I have the texas defender 45/410 . I was very suprized of the accurcy and the kick.Very unique lil pistol

[2nd amendment rights]

I think I'd go for .44 mag in this model...any lesser caliber can be had in a glock or taurus, and you only have 2 shots, so they gotta count...a .410 slug = .357mag ...

[Danny Combs]

I own the 45LC/.410 , 3.5 inch barrel. I love this little snake charmer, heavy but what do you expect for a 2 shot larger cal. pistol that will fit in your back pocket. I never leave home without it..Indiana

[Jake Jacob]

I like to shoot the Bond Arms derringer. I thought that it would be a good one to carry (easy to do in Florida, USA with proper permit)

I chose not to go with the 410/45 Long Colt
I opted for the 45ACP. It shoots Hard Ball (military) rounds very well and without a huge recoil. It is accurate out to 15 meters. I dont see this little one being a long lange shooter. The cal 45 gets the job done.

I also bought a 38 cal Special. Since I do my own reloading I was able to make shot shells using CCI's plastic hollow bullets. They look like wad cutters, just made of translucent plastic. I just fill them with #7 1/2 bird shot and then load them as a regular bullet. I now have a snake or close in scatter shot capability. It is a very mild recoil and a close in scatter round.

All in all I am very pleased with the Bond Arms Company. They have been most helpful when I called the company with a few very routine questions. The quality of the pistol is fine and that 'rascal' just fits right in my hand

If you are looking for a quality short range pistol with the flexibility of interchangable barrels, give Bond Arms a good look. If you can swing a second barrel, get one for giggles. I don't think that you will have too much difficulty to find one in your local sports shop

Good shooting
Jake

[chris woodard]

i have a gun that looks just like this but marked texas arms it shoots 357/38 is it the same gun

[Lguy]

"Derringer" style handguns have been manufactured since the time of the American civil war and those calibers are common, so that's not really a good clue since there are plenty of clones.

[Texas Arms]

To JAKE JACOB. I recommend contacting Bond Arms. I believe the item you have may be marked with the name of the company before they incorporated as Bond.

[Boomer]

I used to own one of those double barrel 357s.. a canon indeed. it would fire .357 & .38 bullets! very tight and powerful blast... the sound of the gun alone would scare the devil himself. LOL

[red xs]

I have the century 2000 with the extended grips, the .410 000 3inch works very well, and maintains a tight pattern out to 7 yds, the 45 colt round didnt make me giggle, but the .410 did. I carry this for my deep cover stuff. If carried right it's invisable, and makes one hell of a boom when aimed at you, recoil is no joke, but when you need it, I doubt you'll think about the recoil, just remember to cock it for the second shot, reload, reload

[Johnny]

Darn fine gun. Best quality ever. Kicks hard, but manageable. Not really pleasant to shoot for fun. Will hit fine at 7 yards. Gotta find where yours hits though.

[TIM RUTHERFORD]

i NEED A 410 SHOT GUN PISTOL DOUBLE BARELL PISTOL

[jesse calhoun]

how much does it cost?

[H. Malcolm Paul]

I want one and now I got to have one. I want the 45 LC and .410 I held one at Sportsmans Warehouse here in Albuquerque as well as having the absolute correct amount of weight, it feels wonderful in the palm of your/my hand.

MY next gun

[Ken Kramlich]

WARNING!!!! I bought a Texas Defender 357 mag a few years ago. Its a nice Derringer, but support from the company stinks, its non-existant. I've called and emailed Bond Arms several times with no response. My Texas Defender safety broke in half. Now I have a 5/16" hole through my Derringer.
