There are derringers, and then there is the Snake Slayer. This is the model that made Bond Arms the name in modern double barrel pistols, and picking one up makes it obvious why. The frame and 3.5 inch double barrel are both machined from solid stainless steel, the lockup between barrel and frame is tight enough to feel like a bank vault, and the whole package comes in at 5.5 inches long and 22 ounces. It runs .38 Special when you want a pleasant range session and full house .357 Magnum when you want serious punch out of a gun that fits in a jacket pocket.
Bond Arms built this one for people who spend real time outside. Hikers, anglers, ranchers, anyone who wants meaningful protection on the trail without hauling a full size pistol around. The extended rosewood grip is the big difference between the Snake Slayer and smaller Bond models. It gives your whole hand something to hold onto, which matters a lot when you touch off a magnum load from a 22 ounce gun. The grips are laser carved with the Snake Slayer emblem and snakeskin style checkering, so it looks as good in a display case as it does on your hip.
The details here are what separate Bond Arms from the old school derringers of decades past. You get a patented rebounding hammer that returns to a safe position after firing, retracting firing pins, a cross-bolt safety, a spring loaded cammed locking lever for solid lockup, and an automatic spent casing extractor to speed up reloads. The trigger guard is removable if you prefer the classic look. A blade front and fixed rear sight keep aiming simple at the close ranges this gun is made for.
Here is the part that keeps people coming back. Every Bond Arms barrel fits every Bond Arms frame, and the company makes them in a huge range of calibers and lengths. Buy the Snake Slayer today, add a .45 Colt/.410 or .22 LR barrel later, and swap between them in seconds. It is a single action two shooter that can wear a lot of different hats over a lifetime of use.
Yes, and this is one of the best things about the platform. Bond Arms barrels are interchangeable across their derringer frames, with options running from 2.5 to 6 inches in dozens of caliber combinations including .45 Colt/.410 and .22 LR. Swapping takes seconds with a simple hex screw, so one frame can cover a lot of different jobs.
Full power .357 out of a 22 ounce gun gets your attention, no way around that. The good news is the extended rosewood grip fills your whole hand and makes it far more manageable than the smaller Bond models. Plenty of owners practice with .38 Special, which is downright mild in this gun, and load .357 for carry.
Bond Arms designed it for exactly that. The patented rebounding hammer returns to a safe position after firing, the firing pins retract, and there is a cross-bolt safety on top of all that. These features are a big part of what separates modern Bond derringers from the old designs people rightly worried about.
It shines as a trail and outdoors gun for hikers, anglers, campers, and anyone working around the property who wants real stopping power in a compact package. It also works well as a deep concealment backup piece. The stainless construction shrugs off sweat and weather, which matters for a gun that lives outdoors.
