Recoil is considerable with the .410, but not too bad. The .410 / 45Colt barrel is the most popular barrel for derringers by bondarms. For around $140 you can get addional interchangable barrels of various calibers from the Bond Arms Online Store. I also have a .357 barrel for mine. A .44 would be neat.

The grip is so tiny that it's difficult to get a firm handle on, which is my only complaint. My dad has a .410 bondarms 'texas defender' which has an even smaller grip and barrel than my snake slayer. It only accepts 2.5 inch shells though, where mine takes 3 inch.

I spent $500 for the snake slayer, and another $100 for the leather holster. I use winchester super-X OOO buckshot pumpkinballs (3) and remington #9 birdshot.

Overall a great pocket gun, and very popular with the guys at the local ranges. I don't like shoot it too much due to the recoil, but one shot should do the trick if I ever get into a pinch.

It's VERY loud

No sir. I special ordered it from a local firearms dealer, who in turn ordered it from a regional bondarms distributor. Took about a week to get it.

I have one of those. They're fun to shoot! I used it as a carry firearm for awhile till I started doing service work in some ugly areas and decided I wanted more rounds. Also have a set of the regular grips but took those off ASAP! Took all the control away. Definitely an attention getter at the range or any shootfest! Everyone gets a kick out of it. Still carry it when walking around the home area. It's rural here so I keep a barrel with #9 and the other with #4 2 1/2 inchers for snakes and critters. Still keep a couple of 3inch
00 shells in the pocket though.
