this is my second conceal weapon favorite. Small enough to hide, and big enough to stop trouble.

Looks very nice in the gun safe. It’s just a novelty firearm. No other practical use to think of other than a heavy pocket gut gun. A 38 special with snake shot will be a better option for a pest control gun. Ergonomics are terrible for me personally. I give it 4 stars cause it is well made and hasn’t malfunctioned.

Was very pleased with this gun. Used it for sometime as a backup on the leg and found it a bit heavy even in the holster made for that purpose. I traided it in for another gun I wanted at the time and the fellow who got it loves it. It is very well made and can accommodate many different barrels so it can become anything you want it to be.

Very well built, solid, gun. I love the multiple caliber options through interchangeable barrels. Rosewood grips are very nice, feels great in the hand. The weight makes it a little heavy in the pocket, but is welcome for managing the recoil.

Firearm functions. Is what it is. Heavy trigger and found no real use for it. As for snake removal had to use buckshot bird shot just pissed em off. This gun is well built. given a four for trigger would not buy again . Over priced

Love the little gun even though it kicks like a mule when you shoot a 410 thru it :} everybody wants to try it out at the gun range. Small and very easy to conceal

Great little "pocket cannon" for personal defense. A bit heavy on the trigger pull, but not so bad once you learn the downward press and pull technique. I ordered the Texas Defender with the .45/.410 setup and also ordered the .38/.357 optional barrel assembly. I'm sure I will enjoy carrying this Derringer-style pistol for many years to come! Thank you Bond Arms.

I really love this gun. Its my backup for town and it the one I carry when I go backpacking. It does have some weight to it but that's because its so well built. I would buy again.

Well, After receiving this weapon I have to say that it looks like a very well made gun. Well made to the point where you could probably drive nails with it. Shipping was extremely fast. Ordered Monday and it arrived in So. Fla. on Thursday. But I will tell you this.......I might replace my Judge with this Bond for driving around. A new car gun, so to speak. As far as pocket carry.........this thing is twice as big as my N.A.A. Guardian .32. I am going to buy an ITP holster, but I seriously doubt I can carry this around in my jeans without looking obvious. Still....no regrets at all and Buds, as usual, whoops everyone on pricing!

Received my .45 Colt/.410 from Buds today and am rather impressed with the quality. This version has the wider hammer spur and lighter trigger pull. Funny to look down the bore and notice that only the last inch or so is rifled. I intend on removing the trigger guard because my trigger finger is cutting into the lower corner of the guard (remember pull back and down). It's not really necessary anyway because of the numerous safeties built in. Looks like a keeper to me and a potentially a good BUG and no doubt fun to shoot. Good job Gordon and Bud's.

Awesome gun!!! Amazing craftsmanship on this gun.....can't wait to shoot it! Very glad that it comes with the upgraded hammer and trigger. Saved me $50 and shipping to Bond Arms!

I've always had a fascination with derringers but the quality of others out there was questionable. Bond Arms are known for high quality albeit high weight derringers and that's what I received. This derringer is solid as a rock, I have no fear of it ever breaking or not performing. Accuracy is what I expected; when I first used it I was barely hitting paper at 7 yards but after getting used to the sights and the trigger (pull down and back, not just back) my accuracy improved greatly. After about 20 .410 my hand was hurting a bit, the next time at the range I got to holding it just right. It is pretty heavy as a derringer and is not a boot gun or small hideout. I am unsure if I'll ever CCW this, maybe after getting the proper holster I might; I also might purchase the BAD driving holster. When I first bought it I thought I made a mistake but now every time I shoot this thing I get a big **** eating grin on my face. It's just a fun gun to shoot.

I had the chance to take this gun out to the range. Very impressive, I am happy with the purchase. The heft of the gun is needed to help with recoil. I shot both .45LC and several types of .410. The .45s shot a little high, could have been me, but it was pretty consistent with the others that shot it. Perfect pocket size, it will be my CW and should last several generations. My order was slow to ship and arrive, uncharacteristic of Bud's, but may be due to the fact I'm not a VIP member. Gun 10/10 Buds service 8/10

Fit and finish of the gun was excellent. Recoil was very acceptable for both the .45 long colt and the .410 000 buckshot, easy to shoot and very accurate for such a short barrel. Overall excellent gun, would highly recommend,
