Thirty years of building double-barrel pistols in Granbury, Texas is worth celebrating, and Bond Arms did it the right way with the 30th XL. This limited anniversary edition takes the proven rough series hand-cannon frame and dresses it up with a 3 inch stainless steel barrel engraved on both sides, one side marking the company's 30 year milestone and the other paying tribute to the USA. It chambers .45 Colt and 2.5 inch .410 shotshells interchangeably, which is exactly the kind of versatility that made the Bond Arms name in the first place. Load it however the job calls for, whether that's a big bore revolver cartridge or a .410 defensive load for close range work.
The XL in the name comes down to the grips. Instead of the thin panel grips on the standard 30th model, this one wears Bond's extended B6 resin grips, and if you've spent time behind one of these pistols, you know that upgrade matters. The extra real estate fills the hand, tames recoil from stouter loads, and gives your pinky somewhere to live. You still get the fixed sights, crossbolt safety, single-action operation, and 7 pound trigger pull that keep the platform simple and predictable. At around 21.6 ounces of solid stainless steel, it carries some reassuring heft without being a burden in a boot, pocket rig, or belt holster.
Some anniversary guns end up too fancy to take out of the safe. Not this one. The rough finish keeps it working-grade, and since it's built on the same frame as the rest of the Bond lineup, it accepts the full range of interchangeable Bond Arms barrels if you ever want to swap calibers or lengths down the road. That makes the 30th XL a rare combination: a commemorative piece from a limited production run that's also a perfectly practical two-shot pistol you won't feel guilty about shooting. Production is limited to the anniversary window, so these won't be around forever.
They're the same anniversary pistol at their core: rough series stainless frame, 3 inch engraved barrel, and .45 Colt/.410 chambering. The XL swaps the thin panel grips for Bond's extended B6 resin grips, which fill the hand better and make stout loads noticeably more manageable. If you plan on shooting it regularly, the XL grips are worth it.
Yes, the barrel is chambered to accept either .45 Colt cartridges or 2.5 inch .410 shotshells without any changes. You can even mix them, loading one of each in the two chambers. Keep in mind the 3 inch barrel handles 2.5 inch .410 shells, not the 3 inch magnum shells.
It will. The 30th XL is built on the standard Bond Arms frame, so it's compatible with the company's full lineup of interchangeable barrels in over a dozen calibers and lengths from 2.5 to 6 inches. Swapping takes just a hex wrench at the hinge pin, which makes this anniversary model as practical as it is collectible.
Yes, it's part of a special run Bond Arms released to celebrate 30 years of manufacturing in Granbury, Texas. The barrel carries commemorative engraving on both sides that you won't find on standard production models. These are only being made for a limited time, so availability won't last.
