Description
Bond Arms took the same stainless steel they use across their whole lineup, skipped the hours of hand polishing, and gave the RoughNeck series a bead-blasted matte finish instead. The result is a derringer with a rugged, workhorse character that costs less to build without cutting corners on the metal itself. The RoughNeck Girl adds pink wood grips to that formula, and the contrast between the warm pink wood and the raw stainless frame is sharp in person. It stands out in a display case full of black polymer, that's for sure.
A .357 Magnum That Fits in Your Palm
This little double barrel measures 4.5 inches from end to end and weighs 18.5 ounces, with 2.5 inch barrels chambered for .357 Magnum. Since it handles .38 Special too, you can practice with softer shooting loads and step up to full power magnums when you want them. The single action trigger, fixed blade front sight, and low profile rear keep the whole package snag free, which matters when you're drawing from tight spaces. A cross-bolt safety, rebounding hammer, and retracting firing pins round out the safety features, and there's a trigger guard on this model as well.
The RoughNeck Girl Grows With You
Here's the part that makes Bond Arms guns fun to own: the frame accepts all standard Bond Arms interchangeable barrels. Buy the RoughNeck Girl today and you can add a .45 Colt/.410 barrel, a 9mm, or a longer barrel later without buying a whole new gun. Swapping takes one screw and a couple minutes. Few handguns at any size offer that kind of flexibility.
Built in Texas, Made to Last
Bond Arms has been building these stainless double barrels for decades, and the fit on the locking lever and hinge is what keeps people coming back. The bead-blasted finish shrugs off daily handling and hides wear better than a polished surface. Pair it with a smooth-lined holster and this one carries easy just about anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Bond Arms RoughNeck Girl shoot both .357 Magnum and .38 Special?
Yes. The chambers accept both cartridges, so you can run milder .38 Special loads for practice and load .357 Magnum when you want maximum punch. Many owners carry .38 Special defensive loads since the short 2.5 inch barrels don't take full advantage of magnum velocities anyway, and recoil is noticeably softer.
Can I swap barrels on the RoughNeck Girl to shoot other calibers?
You can. The frame is compatible with all standard Bond Arms interchangeable barrels, which covers everything from 9mm and .380 ACP up to .45 Colt/.410. Swapping only requires removing a single screw, so one frame can serve several roles over time.
Is the RoughNeck series made from cheaper metal than other Bond Arms guns?
No, it's the same grade of stainless steel used across the rest of the Bond Arms lineup. The savings come from skipping the extensive hand polishing and going with a bead-blasted matte finish instead. You may spot minor tool marks or casting lines, which is part of the intended rough and tumble look, but the internals and materials are the same.
How big is the RoughNeck Girl for everyday carry?
It measures 4.5 inches overall and weighs 18.5 ounces, making it one of the smallest .357 Magnum handguns you can buy. The fixed sights and hammer are low profile and snag free, and Bond Arms recommends a smooth-lined holster since the matte finish rides best against a slick interior.
