i'm waiting for them to make a 50bmg derringerHi,
I have a Bond Arms Derringer, 4" barrel, in .45ACP.
View attachment 87820
I plan to carry it as backup as soon as I get an ankle holster for it. I can't win any competitions with it, but it will do in a pinch at close range. The single action trigger is heavier than my striker fired pistols and my pinkie won't fit on the grip. Recoil is managable. It's a simple piece that gets the job done.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff
I did the same putting snake shot in a Model 629. Problem was, recoil from the first shot backed the little shot cups out of the cases just enough to bind the cylinder and make it a single shot. Never had that problem with the deringer, and I could load it with .410 skeet loads.I had a Bond “Snake Slayer” I carried here on the farm for a few years. A 3” .410 with 6 shot will dust a reptile. That said, worst trigger I ever handled. Replaced it with a 3” model 60 Smith. First round is shot, remainder are .357. Is lighter, works just as well on snakes and will nail Wile Coyote should he get adventurous.
Love the holster! You sons-a-guns keep this up and I'll start thinking I need a Bond, and I need that like I need another hole in my head.Probably will keep it as is.

Oh come on ya got to just once. Even with my stiff arthritic hands I would shoot it once. I would attach about six feet of orange tape to it so we could find it in the grass after it flew out of my hands, but I would damn sure give it a go. Then sometimes I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw.My buddy has one in 45-70. I absolutely refuse to shoot it lol.
