Bond Arms Snake Slayer .410 Derringer

[ChamberedRound]

LOVE this gun. For some reason, I have a fascination with Derringers, and the Bond Arms series are top notch. Best part about them is once you buy one frame, you can shoot just about any caliber you want in them; all you have to do is buy the right barrel.

I'm thinking about ordering one of these along with my pistol. I just love the idea that I can carry such a small, concealable gun that can fire shotshells!

I have only fired a Derringer once at a SASS Cowboy side match. I was surprise at the trigger pull. Someone said it was 24# and as a very strong person, I tended to believe them. I thought the gun was on safe when I first tried to fire it and it took a lot of pull to get it to fire. Does the "Snake Slayer have a lighter trigger pull? Is the trigger guard removable?

The SS is single action only, and has ~10lb trigger pull. The trigger guard is attached by a single hex bolt, and is removable for a 'texas defender' look.

I used to have (2) of the FMJ side-by-side 45/410 pistols until they were stolen. Being on the cheaper side, they performed well and handled recoil better due to their birdshead grip which allowed the gun to roll up like a SA revolver. 3" 410s were easy on the hands.

Only bad thing was a few sharp edges, which were cure with a file. And they didn't extract the spent shells-had to carry a small screwdriver or pocket knife, or wait til the shells cool and contracted.
