The Rawhide is Bond Arms' answer to a simple question: how do you get their famous build quality into more hands? The answer was the Rough Series, and this .357 Magnum/.38 Special version is the one most folks gravitate toward. You get the same stainless steel frame and barrel, the same patented rebounding hammer, and the same internal parts as the polished models that cost quite a bit more. The difference is the bead-blasted Rough & Tumble finish, which skips the hand polishing and, frankly, looks right at home on a working gun.
This is a classic cowboy-style frame, meaning no trigger guard, which gives it that old-school single shot pistol profile people love about derringers. The 2.5" swing-up double barrel releases with a spring-loaded, cammed locking lever, and an automatic extractor lifts spent cases for quick reloads. A fixed front blade and rear notch give you a usable sight picture at defensive distances, and the cross-bolt safety works with the rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins so you can carry it with confidence. Black rubber grips with the Bond Arms star soak up recoil better than you might expect from a 19 ounce gun, and yes, .357 Magnum out of this thing gets your attention. Plenty of owners run .38 Special for practice and save the magnums for carry, which is a smart way to do it.
Here is the part that makes Bond Arms derringers such a good value: the Rawhide accepts all standard Bond Arms interchangeable barrels. Buy this one gun and you can swap to .45 Colt/.410, 9mm, .45 ACP, and a long list of others just by changing the barrel. It is a five minute job with an Allen wrench.
As a backup gun, a trail companion, or just a fun piece of Americana that hits hard, the Rawhide delivers genuine Bond Arms craftsmanship without the premium finish price. It is compact, stainless, all business, and built in Texas to last.
Yes, that is one of its best features. The chambers accept full-power .357 Magnum as well as .38 Special, so you can practice with softer-recoiling .38s and load magnums when it counts. Many owners run .38 Special most of the time since recoil from a 19 ounce gun is much friendlier with the lighter loads.
It does. The Rawhide is compatible with all standard Bond Arms interchangeable barrels, so you can swap to calibers like .45 Colt/.410, 9mm, or .45 ACP by changing just the barrel. Swaps take only a few minutes with a simple Allen wrench, which makes this one frame a surprisingly versatile platform.
Mechanically, it is not. The Rawhide uses the same stainless steel frame, rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, and quality internals as the higher-end models. The savings come from the bead-blasted Rough & Tumble finish instead of a hand-polished satin finish, plus standard rubber grips and a cowboy frame without a trigger guard.
Yes. You manually cock the hammer for each shot, and the two barrels fire one at a time. The rebounding hammer and cross-bolt safety add mechanical peace of mind, and the break-open action with an automatic spent casing extractor keeps loading and unloading quick and simple.
