The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager

They regularly have a show on the outdoor channel on Dish advertising their derringers.philip964 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 9:17 pm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Arms

Well made guns, and several barrel/caliber options, even in a limited platform. Not what I would carry as a primary, but maybe as a BUG.
Several people do carry it as a primary gun.

Re: Bond Arms advertised on radio today
They’re made in Granbury. If I had any interest in an overweight two-shot derringer, I’d buy a Bond Arms. They ARE very well made. But they are exceedingly heavy for what is nominally a hideaway gun. My 6+1 round Glock 43 weighs 1.6 oz more, fully loaded, than a 2+0 round Bond Arms Backup model (their best seller) in the same caliber, UNloaded. If a derringer is your thing, then I’d pick a Bond Arms model over any other brand; but to my mind, they are primarily a well-made novelty item.philip964 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 9:17 pm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Arms

Re: Bond Arms advertised on radio today
So.... considerably more than twice the price of a Glock 43 (or similar pistol). The Bullpup is also a novelty gun in my mind. No doubt that Bond Arms is applying their excellent standards to manufacturing it, but I just don’t think it’s worth the price for a hideout gun with a 2” barrel, that will hamper the 9mm's terminal ballistics. I see it as an interesting collector's gun, but not something I’d carry and stake my life on.

Re: Bond Arms advertised on radio today
The Bullpup is an interesting gun and I shot it well when I had the chance to try it. The compact design makes it easier to conceal and being steel, it soaked up what recoil there was from 9mm with ease. It is a bit picky with ammo.
The gun was originally designed and built by Boberg. Bond Arms bought the design and then made some improvements to it to make it more reliable.
I wouldn't mind owning one.
TAM, the barrel length is ~3.5" due to the bullpup design.

Thanks. I must have been thinking of the Backup derringer's barrel length.

Re: Bond Arms advertised on radio today
I have one of their derringers that will chamber a .410 shell.
It is my snake gun.
Never had to use it, but I did pattern it on a piece of cardboard laid on the ground.
If I have to use it, the snake will be thoroughly perforated.
Very well made gun.
