There's a reason the Snake Slayer is one of the best known names Bond Arms has ever put on a barrel. This stainless two-shot derringer chambers both .45 Colt and 3-inch .410 shotshells through its 3.5-inch barrels, which makes it a natural fit for hikers, anglers, and anyone working land where a rattler or cottonmouth might turn up first. Load a pair of .410 shells with birdshot or buckshot for close-range pest work, or run .45 Colt when you want a single solid hit. Plenty of owners mix one of each and cover both bases at once.
The extended rosewood grips are the big story here. Standard derringer grips leave your pinky floating, but the Snake Slayer gives you a fuller handhold that makes a real difference when you touch off a .410 shell. Each rosewood set has its own grain and character, so no two look quite the same. The frame and barrels are stainless steel with a satin finish, a smart pairing for a gun that will live in a tackle box, saddle bag, or sweaty belt holster. A patented rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, and a crossbolt safety round out the safety features, and the spring-loaded cammed locking lever keeps the barrel-to-frame fit tight while making reloads quick.
Here's where a Bond Arms derringer earns its keep over the long haul: this frame accepts every barrel in the Bond Arms lineup. Pick up a .357 Magnum/.38 Special barrel for lighter recoil range days, or a 9mm barrel to share ammo with your carry gun, and swap them out with a single screw. One purchase becomes a whole toolbox.
At 5.5 inches overall and about 22 ounces, it rides easily on a belt or in a pack pocket without the bulk of a full-size revolver. Single action operation keeps things simple: cock the hammer, aim with the fixed blade front and rear notch sights, and squeeze. For a just-in-case gun on uncertain trails, that simplicity is exactly the point.
Yes, that's the whole idea behind this barrel set. The 3.5-inch barrels are chambered to handle .45 Colt cartridges and .410 shotshells up to 3 inches, and you can mix and match between the two barrels. A common setup is a shotshell in one chamber and a .45 Colt round in the other.
You can. The Snake Slayer's frame accepts every interchangeable barrel Bond Arms makes, so you can add a .357 Magnum/.38 Special, 9mm, or other caliber barrel later. Swapping takes just a minute or two with a hex wrench, which makes this one of the most adaptable handguns you can own.
It has some bark, no way around that in a 22-ounce gun, but the extended rosewood grips are what make it manageable. They give your whole hand a place to be, unlike the stubby grips on traditional derringers. Most folks find standard .410 shotshells and cowboy-level .45 Colt loads perfectly comfortable for a range session.
For snakes and small pests at close range, .410 shells loaded with No. 6 through No. 9 shot throw a dense pattern inside typical snake distances. Bond Arms has pointed to Winchester 3-inch 000 buckshot as a load that patterns well in their guns when you want heavier payload. Keep expectations realistic on range, since these are close-quarters tools by design.
