The Bond Arms’ derringer is high quality handgun, beautifully build and awesome concealment option. I cannot wait to take it with me while hunting as a snake protection. In addition, it is made in America. God bless.

My Snake Slayer, with a light load (150 grn.), Is wonderful to shoot. With 240 grn., It's AWESOME

Great Derringer. To heavy for concealed care. The quality is wonderfu. Too, too heavy. Depending upon you need. Look for something lighter.

I love my new Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV. The craftsmanship and finish are impressive. This makes a nice addition to my gun collection and I am looking forward to shooting it as the weather warms.

This Snake Slayer IV is an excellent firearm. The craftsmanship is really exceptional and the quality is top notch. The gun really has some heft to it. The one thing I was curious about was the recoil. It is there but is manageable with the 45LC/410. I plan next on getting the 357/38 barrel.

This little guy is just what the doctor ordered for a snake dispatcher, or for a good way to prevent a mugging. 410 # 4 shot is a good answer for either.

Ok I have had this gun for 3 years now and I love it. It has the 4.25" barrel. It shoots great. It is built like a tank and I'm sure I'll be leaving it to my son when I'm gone. I shoot 000 buck from it and the recoil isnt bad at all. The 45lc shoot good from it but the 000buck just leaves those nice 38 caliber holes.i would recommend this gun to anyone.

Is my first Bond arms pistol. Like the way it feels. Has good weight. I like the option of changing barrels. I think everyone should have a Bond arms Derringer.

Have owned this gun for over 4 years and never realized I had not done a review. The gun works perfectly. It is a beautiful gun. The weight,the balance truly are exceptional. Recoil is minamized by the weight and grips. I have 5 different caliber barrels in 3 different lengths. Living on the coast we have a lot of wet, swampy areas and heavy grasses. In those areas I always carry my Bond with 410 loaded. Has dispatched a number of nasty snakes. You will love it. A great company and employees. Much on par with Buds which I have used for years and never been anything but/very satisfied..

Could not be any more pleased with my purchase of the Snake Slayer IV 45LC/410 from Buds! This is an amazing piece of work from Bond Arms, impressive quality and workmanship. Thanks to Buds for your spot on service and best pricing. My second transaction with Buds, very pleased, will return.

Thanks Buds for the great service. I've owned this firearm for several years now and have nothing negative to report about the Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV. What a great firearm. I have purchased several barrels for it since from 357 Magnum to 10MM Auto. Barrel swaps are less than a minute to change out, and I've purchased several holsters for it and two additional grips. This is one of my favorite handguns and find it very easy to conceal. I carry additional "strip clips" with me and find they reload easily into the chambers quickly. Thanks again for the superior service buds. You Guys Rock!

This was my first purchase with Bud's online, and I couldn't have been happier. Fast and easy. I've had this firearm for almost a year now it is just as nice as you'd expect it to be. It's a hand full to shoot, but not so much that you'll shy away from shooting it. I carry it almost every day, and it shows no signs of wear after 9 months to the finish on the metal of the woode grips. 100% satisfied with Bud's and Bond Arms. I see a Bullpup in my future.

Very nice looking firearm. Seems to be very well made. Fit and finish is great. Haven't had a chance to fire yet but am looking forward to it. Should be a great defense gun for close quarters especially with .410 000 buck.

This review is long overdue. I chose this gun for obvious reasons. I had moved to a rural part of town and was warned about rattle snakes. Sure I could have used a shotgun or other means. But, where's the fun in that? The gun is very well built and just feels right in the hand. That part is hard to explain unless you own one or have shot one. The only "down" side is that I shot one rattle snake a week after I got it. I haven't seen one since. They must have told their friends. Recoil is more than manageable to me which surprised me. There's nothing to complain about with this firearm. I think it would be awesome to see a grip type laser with a center mass shotgun display. That would really up the hand canon factor imo haha.

This is a fun little gun. Have yet to shoot a snake with it.

Shoots good just needs a trigger job

I am quite impressed both with the Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV firearm and Buds. The reason I'm impressed with Buds is when I went to write this review they did not know I had received it so I couldn't! Why? I ordered it on Wednesday around noon and had it in my hand on Friday at 1:30 PM. It was here so fast that Buds thought it was still waiting to be shipped! Best part was free shipping. The Bond Arms handgun is just a piece of work! I have not fired it yet but fit and finish is all that I was expecting!

I liked this so much this is my second one! Outstanding performance and quality. Great CCW.

Tenth gun from Buds. Things went a little slower than usual ,they couldn't find tracking info then determined they forgot to ship it. Anyway it finally made it. The gun seems to be tight and well made. Only problem I had with it was it appeared the guy with the grinder worked overtime and only buffed some of the grind marks including the edges on the barrel. After a week of polishing it looks good now. I e-mailed bond with pictures but never heard back.

I just test fired this gun with 3 inch federal number 6 shot. This is going to be my new carry piece in the car. Great fun gun. The picture above shows the old Snake Slayer 4 with the 7 pound trigger pull. The new design has a beaver tail hammer, snake skin pattern on the grips and cut outs on the trigger with a much improved 5.5 pound trigger. That's the one Buds sent me. If you call Bonds up and mention you saw an ad in Hand Gun annual for a half price extra barrel they will honor the offer even though they said it expired 12/14.

Is it the most practical firearm to own, probably not. But is it cool? You bet it is! I am very happy with this purchase. It looks great, works great, and feels great. Wish I had the funds for another. Good job Bond Arms and good job Buds.

Excellent buy, this thing is built like a tank, fine craftsmanship, very highly recommended, many thanks to bud's for a quick, trouble-free buy!

Beautifully made. Perfect for it's purpose. Ideal snake gun but also an easy to conceal backup gun. 4 1/4" barrel makes for far better shot pattern as well as better performance when using 45LC. Recoil is nothing to worry about as the outstanding grips distribute it comfortably. I also like the option of using either 2 3/4 " or 3" 410 shells. Definitely a keeper. Bud's has earned a regular customer with me due to their excellent prices, service, and communication.
