There's something satisfying about a gun with zero pretense, and the Bond Arms Roughneck is exactly that. Two barrels, two rounds of .45 ACP, a hammer, and a trigger. Bond Arms builds this one from the same grade of stainless steel as their high-polish models, but skips the hours of hand polishing in favor of a bead-blasted finish that leaves a few tool marks showing. The result is a tank of a derringer with a rugged, workwear look that fits the name.
Don't let the entry-level position fool you. The frame and 2.5 inch double barrel are solid stainless, not pot metal or die cast, and the whole gun tips the scale at 19 ounces with an overall length of just 4.5 inches. That heft works in your favor when you touch off a .45, soaking up recoil better than you'd expect from something this small. The single-action trigger breaks clean once it starts moving, and the wide, grooved hammer gives your thumb plenty of purchase when cocking.
Old-school derringers earned a sketchy reputation for carry, but Bond Arms solved that decades ago. The Roughneck uses their patented rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, and a cross-bolt safety, so it rides safely with both chambers loaded. A spring-loaded, cammed locking lever swings the barrels open for loading, and the fixed blade front and rear sights keep things simple at the close distances this gun is meant for.
Here's the part that makes Bond Arms fans out of people: the Roughneck accepts all standard Bond Arms barrels. Pick up a 9mm or .357 Magnum/.38 Special barrel down the road and swap it in with a simple Allen wrench, and you've got a different gun on the same frame. Whether you want a backup piece, a trail companion, or just a genuinely fun range gun with old-west character, this Texas-made two-shooter delivers a lot of steel for the money.
Yes, and that's one of the biggest draws of the platform. The Roughneck is compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels, so you can add a 9mm or .357 Magnum/.38 Special barrel later and swap it in with a simple Allen wrench. Just note this .45 ACP model does not fire .410 shotshells; that requires a .45 Colt/.410 barrel found on other Bond models.
It is. Unlike old-fashioned derringers, the Roughneck uses Bond Arms' patented rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins, so the firing pins are never resting against a live round. It also has a cross-bolt safety for an extra layer of security, which is why this design is widely considered a true carry-ready derringer.
It has some bark, but the all-steel construction helps a lot. At 19 ounces with a palm-filling grip, the Roughneck soaks up recoil better than most guns this size, and casual range sessions are very manageable. It's a two-finger grip, so expect the gun to move a bit in your hand during extended shooting.
No, it fires one round per trigger pull. The hammer alternates between the top and bottom barrels each time you cock it, so you get two aimed shots. Loading is simple too: press the lever behind the trigger, swing the barrels open, drop in two rounds, and close it up.
