I’ve only shot one of those and it wasn’t a Bond. (I don’t remember what it was)
Trigger was so heavy, I needed a come-along!
Seriously though, it was so heavy, the only way I think I could hit with it would be to get up reeeal close. Like -2’.
Is the Bond like that?
And here, I came to say "user name checks out"That’s more like a rat gun than a mouse gun…
(Enjoy!)
You're comparing it to a double stacked 9mm?!? I'm not surprised it's smaller. I compared one of those to a .380 Bodyguard and they were comparable, though the derringer felt bigger. I have a high standard .22 magnum with trigger guard and that guy is much bigger. But it is a valid point on trigger guards.Manual say's 7lb trigger. My trigger guage showed 5lb, 4.4lb & 4.5lb, 3 try's. But YouTube video's all complain about the heavy trigger.
It looks big in pictures but it's smaller in person. Smaller than my P365, but I can get 2 fingers on the grip. Heavy at 20 oz, but for the caliber that's good. This model has a trigger guard and that makes it look big compared to other derringer's without a trigger guard.
I had no idea! Personally I just know my soft accountant hands could NEVER handle the kick of that thing.Na, I'll stick to the cowboy rounds.
After some research it looks like you can remove the trigger guard. I will probably do that.
"Founded in 1995, Bond Arms was launched with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be transformed from an Old West anachronism into a modern defensive handgun. Along with other design improvements, including a beefed up stainless-steel frame and integral safety features, the Bond pistols ship with removable hinge pins that allow the double barrels to be traded out quickly and easily.That’s pretty cool. And I may be wrong but I think you can change out the barrel for other calibers.

Although Bond Arms has never been shy about advertising the caliber conversions available for this platform, folks may not realize just how many interchangeable barrel options the company has to offer. With prices starting at $130, the barrels are available in two finishes (matte and polished) and four different lengths including 2.50", 3.00" 3.50" and 4.25" models. Add to that 14 different chamberings capable of firing 20 different rimfire, revolver, pistol and .410 cartridges."

The point could have been made in 5 minutes but this is Nutnfancy so 45 minutes is standard. Basically why would you carry a derringer when there are so many firearms that are just as small, hold more rounds and lighter.
What?Yes, all caliber barrels they make. But, more BS, they won't ship barrels to MA, dealer only. I would like a 22 barrel.
