I like to shoot the Bond Arms derringer. I thought that it would be a good one to carry (easy to do in Florida, USA with proper permit)

I chose not to go with the 410/45 Long Colt

I opted for the 45ACP. It shoots Hard Ball (military) rounds very well and without a huge recoil. It is accurate out to 15 meters. I dont see this little one being a long lange shooter. The cal 45 gets the job done.

I also bought a 38 cal Special. Since I do my own reloading I was able to make shot shells using CCI's plastic hollow bullets. They look like wad cutters, just made of translucent plastic. I just fill them with #7 1/2 bird shot and then load them as a regular bullet. I now have a snake or close in scatter shot capability. It is a very mild recoil and a close in scatter round.

All in all I am very pleased with the Bond Arms Company. They have been most helpful when I called the company with a few very routine questions. The quality of the pistol is fine and that 'rascal' just fits right in my hand

If you are looking for a quality short range pistol with the flexibility of interchangable barrels, give Bond Arms a good look. If you can swing a second barrel, get one for giggles. I don't think that you will have too much difficulty to find one in your local sports shop

Good shooting
