Description
One barrel, one shot, one very serious cartridge. The Bond Arms Cyclops takes the classic derringer footprint and dedicates the whole thing to a single .44 Magnum chamber. That single barrel design is the whole point of the name, and it serves a real purpose. Skipping the second bore let Bond Arms beef up the chamber walls and add weight right where you want it, up front, which helps soak up recoil from full-house magnum loads. At 28 ounces with a hefty 4.25 inch big bore barrel, this little pistol has more heft than its 6.75 inch overall length suggests, and every ounce is working for you when the hammer drops.
Cyclops .44 Mag Details That Matter
This is a single action pistol, so you cock the hammer for each shot, and the break open action makes loading and extraction simple. The trigger breaks at around 7 pounds, sights are fixed to the frame and barrel, and a trigger guard comes standard. The extended B6 resin grip gives your whole hand something to hold onto, which you will appreciate the first time you touch off a magnum load. Bond Arms also cleaned up the engraving on this model based on customer feedback. The Cyclops logo rides on the right side of the barrel while the left side and muzzle stay plain for a more understated look.
Satin Finish and Holster Package
This version wears a satin stainless finish and ships with a leather holster, so you are ready to carry it from day one. Bond Arms builds these in Granbury, Texas with the fit and finish the company is known for. One thing worth knowing: Cyclops barrels only work on Cyclops frames since the firing pin sits in a different spot than the standard over and under models.
Who the Bond Arms Cyclops Is Built For
Think of it as a backup on a hunting trip, a trail companion in big animal country, or simply the most fun you can have making a range day interesting. This is not a beginner's pistol, and that is exactly why people love it. It delivers genuine .44 Magnum power from one of the smallest platforms you can get it in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Bond Arms Cyclops only have one barrel instead of the usual two?
The single barrel design lets Bond Arms reinforce the chamber and add extra weight to handle big, high-pressure cartridges like the .44 Magnum that would be too stout for the standard over and under configuration. That added mass up front also helps take some of the sting out of recoil. It is where the Cyclops name comes from, one eye, one barrel.
Can I swap standard Bond Arms barrels onto the Cyclops frame?
No. While most Bond Arms barrels interchange freely between frames, the Cyclops frame only accepts Cyclops barrels. The firing pin sits in a different location because of the single shot design, so the two systems are not cross compatible.
How bad is the recoil on the Cyclops .44 Mag?
It gets your attention, no way around it. That said, the 28 ounce weight, heavy big bore barrel, and extended B6 resin grip do a solid job of managing it, and .44 Special loads make for a much milder range session in the same gun. Full-power magnum loads are best suited for experienced hands.
Does this Cyclops model come with a holster?
Yes, this is the satin package version, and it ships with a leather holster in the box. That sets it apart from the standard Cyclops .44 Mag, which does not include one. You get the pistol, holster, locking device, and owner's manual.
