Bond Arms Rowdy 45/410 Derringer

[apander]

Anyone have any personal tips on the above derringer, did a search and found two for sale on NES looking for information on kick, trigger pull, and known accuracy at about 3 to 5 yards. Also does my Nanny state prohibit them? Thanking you in advance.

No personal experience with it but at a guess I'd say:

Plenty

Plenty

It has a shotgun shell - that should tell you about "accuracy."

.

If you're in need of it, you'll be the weak link in the accuracy chain, most likely.

If it's for sale, and yo want it, buy it.

1) It weighs about the same as a brick
2) Has a grip that only allows 2 fingers
3) Shoots .410 and 45LC
4) see 1-3 again
5) look at #3 and think about #2
6) Costs about the same as a new G19

Is your nanny state in MA? If so @CrackPot had a couple models for sale up the Mill as of fairly recently. I’d reach out to him and see if you can go handle a couple of them if it fits a need/want.

Where do I get a new G19 for $3-400 ?!??

Oh I don’t know about that. The last couple Bonds I saw for sale in MA were asking 600+.

This. If you get one, it should be in 45/70, dont be a p*ssy.

I’m pretty sure the 45/70’s have a 3 finger grip so it should be fine. lol

I was thinking about a real man's caliber like a Fort-tay !

Never fired one of these, but I own number of tiny firearms, and after firing a bunch of them recently I am very down on tiny revolvers/derringers because of the complete lack of accuracy (at any distance). I can't imagine an even more powerful derringer would be any better.

I found the colt 45 accurate, the 410 not very accurate. But at close distance who cares. The sting from the 45 is not that bad, assuming you expect it to be bad. The 410 was harsh. I would just stick to 45 colt.

Trigger pull is a little different. If you pull from the bottom it's a light pull. But if you don't it can be very heavy. It takes a little practice to be consistent.

I removed the trigger guard, easy to do, and this makes for a smaller profile and it's better looking.

One model is available in MA. They run about $350.

You can swap barrels to other calibers but they are hard to get.

Trigger pull is gnarly.
(On the ones I’ve shot)
