Description
Bond Arms calls the Texan the biggest Bond ever, and one look tells you why. The 6 inch stainless double barrel stretches this derringer to a full 8 inches overall, giving you more sight radius and more velocity than the stubby 2.5 and 3 inch models most folks picture when they hear the word derringer. It handles .45 Colt and .410 shotshells up to 3 inches, so the same gun that carries buckshot or a defensive load on the trail can plink cowboy loads at the range or pop birdshot at a snake on the fence line.
Built Like Every Bond Arms, Just Bigger
The frame and barrels are machined stainless steel, and the fit is what Bond Arms has built its reputation on. You get the patented rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins, a cross-bolt safety, a spring-loaded cammed locking lever, and an automatic extractor that kicks spent cases clear when you break it open. It is a simple single action platform with very little to go wrong, and owners routinely describe these guns as tanks that will outlast the person who bought them. The trigger guard comes standard on this model, a welcome touch for a gun likely to ride in a pack or on a belt outdoors.
That Texan Rosewood Grip
The extended rosewood grip is where this one earns its name. It is engraved with an outline of the Lone Star State complete with a star, plus snakes criss-crossing along the bottom. The extended profile also gives your whole hand something to hold onto, which tames the recoil of stout .410 loads better than the compact grips on smaller Bond models. Since rosewood is a natural material, every set of panels has its own grain and character.
One Frame, Endless Options
Like the rest of the lineup, the Texan accepts all standard Bond Arms interchangeable barrels. Pick up a .357 Magnum, 9mm, or .38 Special barrel down the road and you effectively own several guns on one quality frame. As a trail companion, a truck gun, or a conversation piece with real teeth, this one covers a lot of ground for a two-shot pistol.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Bond Arms Texan fire 3 inch .410 shotshells?
Yes. The Texan's 6 inch double barrel is chambered for .410 shotshells up to 3 inches as well as .45 Colt. That means everything from birdshot and buckshot to defensive .410 loads like the Winchester PDX1 runs through it, and you can mix a .45 Colt in one barrel and a shotshell in the other if you like.
Does the longer 6 inch barrel really make a difference over a standard derringer?
It does. The extra length adds sight radius and squeezes more velocity out of both the .45 Colt and .410 loads compared to 2.5 or 3 inch Bond barrels. Owners consistently report shooting the Texan more accurately than shorter models, and the extended rosewood grip helps soak up recoil at the same time.
Can I swap other Bond Arms barrels onto the Texan frame?
Yes, the Texan is compatible with all standard Bond Arms interchangeable barrels. Swapping takes just a few minutes with a hex key, so you can add calibers like .357 Magnum, 9mm, or .38 Special without buying another frame. It is one of the biggest perks of the Bond Arms platform.
How heavy is the Texan and is it practical to carry outdoors?
It weighs right around 27 ounces with an 8 inch overall length, so it is a solid chunk of stainless steel but still compact for what it delivers. Most owners treat it as a trail, fishing, or ranch gun where the .410 capability shines against snakes and pests. The all stainless construction shrugs off weather better than blued guns, which is a real plus in the field.
