Derringers

Bond Arms Derringers are made in a variety of calibers including the .45 Long Colt /.410 Shotshell. The three most popular models are the Texas Defender, Cowboy Defender, and Snake Slayer Derringers. Bond Arms Derringers are equipped with a trigger guard, except the Cowboy Defender. The trigger guard is removable for a more traditional appearance. Bond Arms constructs their Derringers in such a way that a user can change barrels and switch from one caliber to another.[2]

In late 2014 Bond Arms introduced two California-legal models called the Big Bear and Brown Bear.
