Larson Thu, 29 Mar 2007 11:53:48 +0000 http://passtheammo.com/2006/01/bond-arms-texas-defender/#comment-69625 I have 2 Bond Derringers both in .38/.357. They are the best made little pistols I have ever owned! Bond uses CNC machining combined with individual attention to detail that is unsurpassed in the industry. They key to shooting the Bond is a 2 handed grip, with the grip hand just low enough so the web of the hand does not touch the cocked hammer. To do so is what causes the heavy hammer pull. The trigger is pulled down unlike a revolver that is pulled back. I have small fingers so I use my non grip hand to cover, sticking that finger into the gap that develops betweeen the middle finger of the grip hand and frame. You have to find your own style, but the derringer is what it is, an up close defensive, ultra reliable large caliber weapon. At ranges of less that 15' where all DEFENSIVE situations take place it is accurate.The sight of 2 large bores stop most fights before they start. Buy the .38 as it is the easiest to shoot. As for Bonds customer service the last post is pure BS. These are good ol Texas boys. Give em an east coast attitude and you are done. I have had nothing but good luck with dealing with them and thy have jumped through hoops to get things done for their customers. It takes a lot of abuse to damage a Bond, so take posts like that with a grain of salt. As a former USAF armorer and LE firearms instructor I trust my life to this little powerhouse as my primary CCW! I have 2 Bond Derringers both in .38/.357.

I bought a Texas Defender 357 mag a few years ago. Its a nice Derringer, but support from the company stinks, its non-existant. I've called and emailed Bond Arms several times with no response. My Texas Defender safety broke in half. Now I have a 5/16" hole through my Derringer. WARNING!!!! I bought a Texas Defender 357 mag a few years ago.

I put about 6 rounds thru it daily on my way home from work , have been doing so 5 days a wk 4 about 2 yrs. no complaints, but would really like a lighter trigger pull. Don't know how much it has but maybe 3 lbs. would do da trick. i have owned a bond arms 45 colt for about 5 years, it fits in the front pocket of my jeans (unholstered) just fine, When i’m in slacks i use a wallet holster.

True enough... But, I sure wouldn't feel less a man carrying one with a couple 45's loaded up (alhtough the person on the receiving end might)! :wink: I see a lot of references to this being a great firearm for women.

My dad bought the first production model (ser# NRA1) and NRA2 NRA3 ( we asked them to do this for an NRA banquet.) He also bought one or two to shoot. These are well made firearms. Even 45 long colt is surprisingly easy to shoot - although I wouldn't recommend it for your 5'2" 100lb wife. The company is also really good to deal with if you should have to.

Im looking into S&W model 29-2 44.mag with the 8 3/4 barrel, but i cant bring that to the park as easy as a derringer. I would definitely buy the engraved version if you would let me know who doing that art. Please let me know!

I prefer a shotgun for a lady personally. I've taught my wife to go after my pump in the corner of the bedroom if she ever feels threatened in the house. I know of no scarier or more recognizable sound than the chink-chink of a pump shotgun. Sign me up for 2! what a little beauty! i’m down with the .45 and .410.

The gun control folks hate small guns as concealable but gun haters want people more vulnerable. I've dated armed women and I have a lot of respect for them and don't feel threatened. There is a definite need for weapons like this one. These deringer types are just what women need in their purse to defend themselves some of the weirdos that roam some American streets.
