Bond Arms DerrInger

[Gray Beard]

Last week I was at A&D pawn in Glen Burnie, Jimmy had 2 rough necks in stock at that time. One was 9mm and the other was 45LC /.410.

Not all things are practical, it would be a boring world if everything was practical. I say if you like it and want it get it.

I have one in .357 / .38 spl, it’s a hand full for sure and fun to shoot (for a few shots) I don’t carry it, it’s just for fun. It’s like that Clint Eastwood movie with the American Indian and the rock candy, “it’s not for eating, it’s for looking through”.

BTW, you can easily swap barrels on these for "most" calibers that suits you.

I forgot to mention they are built like tanks!

Bonds are nice but I want a Remington 95 like James West to keep up my sleeve

Bond’s, Remington’s, James Bond and James West all are cool!

I have a roughneck that originally came as a 9mm. But I also bought a .357mag barrel for it as well. Quality seems to be pretty high. The trigger guard is removeable, which is good because the motion to pull the trigger is back and kinda down at the same time. Hard to do with the trigger guard on. Plus it just looks better.

It's a cool, interesting gun. Fun to shoot every now and then. Very modular, barrels swap in seconds and lots of different calibers.

Cons are it is heavy, only 2 shots, very wide. There are tons of better choices for defensive use. There is a manual crossbolt safety for some reason, like somebody is going to carry this in their pocket cocked?

Probably wouldn't buy it knowing what I know now. Kinda wished I bought one of the higher trim finished ones. Or the stinger as it is thinner.

I had one of those in the '50's. It used greenie stickum caps.

They are also available in 45lc/410. Good snake gun if you can deal with the trigger which takes getting used to.

That is one I don't want, don't need another caliber.

Like I said its a want, not practical. If carried it would most likely as a bug. Since I was a kid I always thought they were cool.

This is America, where a man should be allowed to buy any gun he desires.

Saw a few at Freestate today. too crowded to shoot and a long wait,, but i saw a few in the case as i was looking around. i had an older Davis 32auto. very small and fun. but not practical.

Bond Arms should do a retro model, with engraving, case hardening (real or simulated) to make it look like an authentic antique. An Uberti for Derringers.



They have lots of different models, what's one more?


ETA: oops... it looks like Uberti already has a few of those.

Mattel greenie stickum caps were the best. Much louder that the usual roll of red caps
