Description
This is a genuine Bond Arms factory barrel, not a knockoff, and it's built to the same quality standards as the complete pistols. The 3-inch length gives you a balance between concealability and a more shootable platform compared to shorter offerings. Chambered for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, it lets you pick your load based on what you need that day. .38 Special runs soft and controllable through a steel frame like this, while .357 gives you magnum stopping power when you need it.
The barrel comes with factory sights already installed and sports a satin stainless finish that resists corrosion and looks clean. The muzzle isn't threaded, so what you see is what you get. Swapping it onto your Bond Arms frame takes just a hex key and about 30 seconds. You simply remove the hinge screw, swap the barrel assembly, and reinstall. No gunsmithing required.
Compatibility with Bond Arms Hand Cannon Frames
This barrel fits all original Bond Arms hand cannon frames. If you own a Texas Defender, Cowboy Defender, Backup, or Roughneck, this barrel will work. It won't fit the newer Stinger, Stinger RS, or Cyclops models, which use proprietary barrels designed specifically for their frames. The compatibility is straightforward on the hand cannon line, so you can confidently build a multi-caliber setup with barrels sitting in a drawer.
Built for Real Use
Bond Arms manufactures everything in-house in Granbury, Texas using heavy-duty stainless steel. Their barrel-to-frame tolerances are tight enough that owners can swap calibers without worrying about fit issues or reliability problems. That precision manufacturing is what makes their interchangeable barrel system work as well as it does. The company has been doing this since 1995, and they've refined the design over decades of real-world use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this barrel fit my Bond Arms derringer?
It depends on which frame you own. This barrel fits all original Bond Arms hand cannon frames like the Texas Defender, Cowboy Defender, and Backup models. It will not fit the Stinger, Stinger RS, or Cyclops models, which use their own proprietary barrel designs. Check Bond Arms' compatibility chart if you're not sure which frame you have.
How do I install this barrel on my derringer?
Installation is simple and takes about 30 seconds. Remove the hinge screw using the supplied hex key, slide out your current barrel assembly, and swap in the new one. Reinstall the hinge screw and you're done. No gunsmithing or special tools needed.
Can I shoot both .357 Magnum and .38 Special through this barrel?
Yes. The barrel is chambered for both calibers, so you can load either .357 Magnum or .38 Special ammunition. Many people prefer .38 Special for practice and backup carry because it runs softer and is easier to control, then load .357 Magnum when they want maximum power.
Is this a factory Bond Arms barrel?
