Superb fit & finish all around. American manufacturing at its best combined with top-quality workmanship makes it easy for me to be proud to own one.

The Bond Arms Snakeslayer is well made but a little heavy to carry and awkward to shoot the trigger pull is very different to get use to. It is more of a novelty than a serious self defense handgun. You can carry and shoot a small revolver better. Thank You, Dennis

Really like this gun. Use the belt holster when in the car and shoulder carry if not. Fun to shoot and nice to have in the woods.

First off Buds is a great online gun store, no complaints, As far as the Bond Arms Derringer, it is one fine quality firearm made in the Texas town of Granbury.

A great gun! What I love about it is the ability to trade out multiple barrels of various calibers, so once you purchase the basic derringer, you have the ability to swap out the barrel to use all sorts of ammunition.

Wow, what a surprise! Rock solid and fun to shoot. Exactly as described. But unless you own one you're missing out on the fun factor. Great for plinking, and defense against outdoor pests - like snakes. The Snakeslayer is highly recommended for around the ranch, or around the house too. With your choice of interchangeable barrels makes it very versatile. I bought mine from Bud's at a terrific price. Five-stars all the way.

Living in swamp country florida you cant go wrong with this gun . 410 for the snakes. And 45 lc for anything else. Won't go hiking without it. Highly recomend it.

After owning and shooting my Bond Arms Snakeslayer which I ordered with both a 45 LC and 38/357 barrels I respectfully submit the following.
Fit and finish: Very Good, Bud servive V.G., Shooting at ten yards (closest my range offered. Accuracy V.G. all shots grouped nicely 6" circle or less after some practice and adjustment of hold and site picture which I found slightly different w/ upper barrel vs lower barrel. Lower barrel better.
Recoil: very acceptable, reason was: first 45 LC ammo I used was in my opinion not too snappy. 410 shell as expected no worse than 45 LC.
Next brand of 45 LC of a better quality, USA recognized brand name, A little snappier . Mind you on each occasion I fired close to 100 rounds. Some mild discomfort should not be surprising. In an altercation I doubt anyone would remember "Recoil or Noise" Just my opinion!
Happy with Snakeslayer

This BOND ARM's SnakeSlayer derringer has been my second firearm purchase made through BUDsGUNSHOP.COM. All went well and as expected. I am pleased with purchase price and timely shipping and handling. Ownership transfer through my FFL was likewise an easy, inexpensive and local friendly experience at my hometown gunship. I will no doubt purchase other good deals at Budsgunshop.com.

I wanted a derringer. This little gun is perfect. He fires real good for a small gun.

Been debating about pulling the trigger on the Bond Arm Derringer for some time. Glad I did, well made, great safety features, quality product, interchangeable barrels, and made by Texans. Love my new hand cannon! Buds as always, great on price and outstanding shipping, ordered on a Saturday in my FFL’s hand the following Tuesday! Tried other on line firearm dealers waste of time, second firearm purchased at Buds and very satisfied customer.

I believe this to be my 5th purchase from Bud's, as usual the purchase, shipment, and quality of product was awesome! Couldn't be happier and will continue to be a devoted customer.

This Bondarms Snakeslayer is well built. Hammer pull is heavy and trigger pull about 5 lbs. Firing single handed with 3" buckshot or 45 colt I do not recommend. Low brass #7.5 bird shot is manageable single handed. This gun is on the heavy side for a derringer but that is to be expected. Great for hiking carry or backpacking. It is a close range gun. Good gun to carry in car for self defense. I give it a 4.5 star rating on a scale of 1 to 5.

Great "little" firearm and a ball to shoot. Recoil is manageable and is like holding a cannon in your hand. Good workmanship. Bud's as usual was great. I have purchased many firearms from them with no issues.

Wow! What a great addition to my collection... I ordered it on Monday and picked it up from my FFL on Friday (came in Thursday). Took my wife to the range to check it out; used .410 shot gun shells through it. 2 shots; 20 hits dead center. This is the ultimate driver gun; I Love this gun and would recommend Bud's to anyone. The only place I purchase from anymore. Thanks Bud!!!

Gun arrived in perfect condition . I have not had the opportunity to fire it yet but I do expect some recoil when that happens. The gun is built like a tank and operates very smoothly. Nice to see what American ingenuity can produce. Glad they are in business !

Not really sure why I bought this, other than its pretty cool. quality is amazing and recoil isn't bad at ALL. nice little pistol!

I like the Snakeslayer although it is in no way compatible with Freedom Arms. Mine came missing a screw. The front strap was milled unevenly so there is a uneven gap visible with the grip. Most odd, the barrel or frame seems made with sloppy tolerances. The barrel does not sit on the frame centered on any axis. There is a large gap on the left side when viewed from top or front. The over/under is not directly over and under. The barrels point about 10 degrees to the right of the frame centerline. These are all very obvious things you would expect QA or basically anyone to notice prior to shipping. Also came extremely hard to open/close, probably as a result. The quality of the materials is very good, the workmanship not so much. During testing we found #6 good for the snake/bunny/frog role; PDX-1 2.5" and 3.5" not really that impressive on medium/hard media but looks great on gelatin; Hornady Critical Defense pretty impressive and #000 very good all around. .45 Colt rounds controllable out to 20 yards or so. I would carry one #000 and one .45 handload. All shotshells started producing flyers outside 3m which is a major consideration for the ethical defensive shooter. An interesting niche item and fun to mess around with, very small and easy to carry. I'll probably trade it for something else.

Not much one can add about Bond Arms quality. It is outstanding! These derringers have excellent fit and finish, and they are built like battle ships. Those double .45 bores remind me of the massive sixteen inch guns on said battle ships. I tend to think of these gems as "pocket Howitzers." My wife loves hers and has much more confidence grabbing it to investigate noises in the night than her .38 Airweight. This was my first internet firearms purchase, and Bud's made it a pleasant experience. If and when the need again arises, Bud's will be my first stop.

My second purchase from Bud's and I have to say well done! Bond Arms makes a great reliable product. This pistol is small, compact, yet on the heavy side for good reason. Great deal and fast shipping.
