Description
There's a reason the Ranger II sits near the top of the Bond Arms lineup. This single action break-open two shot is CNC machined from stainless steel with a brushed finish, and the fit between the barrels and frame is tight enough that you feel it every time the spring-loaded locking lever cams shut. The 4.25 inch over/under barrels handle .45 Colt or .410 shotshells up to 3 inches, and that flexibility is the whole appeal. Load a shotshell up top and a hard-hitting .45 Colt below, or run two of either. At about 23.5 ounces with a 6.25 inch overall length, it rides light for something with this much bark.
What Sets the Ranger II Apart
The extended black ash grips are the big story here. Most derringers give you two fingers and a prayer, but the Ranger II's longer grip lets your whole hand settle in, which matters a lot when you touch off a 3 inch shell. Each panel wears a brushed stainless star inlay, and since it's real wood, no two sets look quite alike. You also get a rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, and a crossbolt safety layered together, plus an automatic extractor to kick out spent hulls when you break the action open. A removable trigger guard comes installed, and the blade front and notched rear sights are machined right into the barrel.
One Frame, a Whole Family of Barrels
Like every Bond Arms pistol, the Ranger II uses the patented interchangeable barrel system. Pull one screw and you can swap to nearly any other Bond barrel, from 9mm to .357 Magnum, which turns this into several guns living in one frame.
The Ranger II Holster Included in the Box
Bond doesn't make you hunt for a way to carry it. The included black leather driving holster is a molded cross-draw rig with white stitching, a quick-release thumb break, and a hook-and-loop attachment that fits belts up to 1.75 inches. It's a genuinely nice piece of leather, not a throw-in, and the star on it matches the grips. Made in Granbury, Texas, and built like it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Bond Arms Ranger II fire both 2.5 inch and 3 inch .410 shells?
Yes. The Ranger II has 3 inch chambers, so it runs both 2.5 inch and 3 inch .410 shotshells along with standard .45 Colt loads. You can even mix them, with a shotshell in one barrel and a .45 Colt in the other.
Can I swap barrels on the Ranger II to shoot other calibers?
You can. Bond Arms builds all its derringers around a patented interchangeable barrel system, and the Ranger II frame accepts nearly the entire lineup of Bond barrels. Swapping takes one screw and a couple of minutes, so a single frame can cover everything from 9mm to .357 Magnum.
What kind of holster comes with the Ranger II?
This model ships with Bond's black leather driving holster, a molded cross-draw design with white stitching and a quick-release thumb break. The hook-and-loop attachment fits belts up to 1.75 inches wide, and the star detail on the leather matches the grip inlays. It's a quality rig, ready to use right out of the box.
How is the recoil with .410 loads in a gun this size?
It has some kick, no way around that with 3 inch shells in a 23.5 ounce pistol. The good news is the Ranger II's extended grip gives your whole hand room on the gun, which makes it noticeably more manageable than shorter-gripped derringers. Standard .45 Colt loads are considerably milder if you want easier range sessions.
