Bond Arms Derringer Tips: Up Your Derringer Game
Derringers, also known as pocket pistols, are compact firearms that gained popularity during the 19th century. The Bond Arms Derringer is a modern take on this classic design, featuring a double-barrel and compatibility with a wide range of calibers. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your Bond Arms Derringer and improve your shooting skills.
Practice Your Grip
The Bond Arms Derringer has a short barrel and a small grip, making it easy to carry and conceal, but also challenging to shoot accurately. To get a good grip, place your dominant hand high on the backstrap, with your fingers wrapped around the grip. Use your non-dominant hand to secure the firearm and support your aim. Make sure both thumbs are in the right place and don’t get in the way of the hammer or trigger.
Align Your Sights
The Bond Arms Derringer comes with fixed sights that are easy to miss if you don’t align them properly. To aim correctly, position the top of the front sight in the center of the rear sight notch, so that you have equal amounts of daylight on either side of the front sight. Keep your eyes focused on the front sight, not the target, as you pull the trigger.
Control Your Trigger Pull
The Bond Arms Derringer has a unique trigger design where the trigger guard rotates to the side, allowing the trigger to be pulled. This design requires some practice to get used to, especially if you’re used to shooting pistols with a different trigger mechanism. The key is to apply steady pressure to the trigger, without jerking or flinching, until the gun fires. Remember to keep your grip firm and your sights aligned throughout the trigger pull.
Choose the Right Caliber
The Bond Arms Derringer can be chambered in a variety of calibers, from .22LR to .45LC/.410. Each caliber has its own advantages and drawbacks, depending on your intended use. For example, smaller calibers are less powerful but also less recoil, making them ideal for target shooting or self-defense at close range. Larger calibers pack a punch but also have more recoil and can be less accurate over longer distances. Consider your needs and preferences before selecting a caliber.
Train Regularly
Like any firearm, the Bond Arms Derringer requires regular training and practice to maintain your skills and stay safe. Find a local shooting range or club where you can practice your marksmanship and learn from other shooters. Take classes or workshops to refine your technique and learn new skills. Always follow proper safety protocols and never handle a firearm under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Conclusion
The Bond Arms Derringer is a versatile and reliable pocket pistol that can serve a variety of purposes, from concealed carry to home defense to target shooting. By following these tips and practicing regularly, you can improve your shooting skills and get the most out of your firearm. Stay safe and have fun!
New owner. Hard core read manual. But this Vid was Beyond Helpful!! Thank You!

I love this little gun. I work as a service plumber in a small town in Kentucky. I do a lot of climbing kneeling crawling and lifting. I was carrying a Smith n Wesson shield 9mm but it kept getting in my way. So I went out and baught the bond arms 9mm deranger. Its no problem to carry. Thanks for the little gun I appreciate it because I'm around snakes and sometimes aggressive dogs. I probably wouldn't hurt a dog because I love them but I'm not going to let one chew on my junk if you know what I mean LOL.
I hate bond arms trigger. Why the hell didnt you just design the trigger like a normal trigger. The trigger really sucks.
Rebounding hammer? Old Technology you didn't design it.
The cross bolt safety can be "turned-off" by utilizing the set screw. It is a single action pistol. No need for a separate safety. I have the Ranger and the I carry with the safety off. Before I utilized the set screw to lock the safety to the off position, it was inadvertently getting set to "on" when bolstering and drawing.
if you put your finger on the top of any trigger its going to be alot harder to pull.. they all swing back just like the derringers.. most people just arent dumb enough to try to pull the trigger at the very top were its alot harder to pull
Recently bought a Bond Arms Texas Defender. Got it from Academy and it was apparently made exclusively for Academy because it came with the extended checkered grips with the Texas star on it plus it came with the "driving holster" with the Academy logo embossed on the belt flap. Nice little package and got the whole package for $429.95 on sale! Got the .410 GA./ .45 L.C.model, shooting the Winchester PDX-1 .410 ga. and the Hornady C/D .45 L.C. it does some pretty impressive damage at 15 yards!
@WATCHINBEAR got me a bond arms century 2000!!! can't wait to take it out target practicing. the only problem is that the ammo that it uses .45 colt & .410 are kinda expesive, so I think I'm gonna call bond up and purchase a 9mm barrle for it. and maybe some extended grips.
@WATCHINBEAR oh cool! a few things I was curious about though, does the price you pay for the gun include a barrel of you're choosing? And does the short grip make you're hands hurt when using large caliber rounds. I was wanting to get .22 long rifle and .38 special and .357 magnum barrels.
Is the only difference between the Snake Slayer and the Snake Slayer IV the barrel length?
i really want a texas defender. <:^(
Informative video.
One thing that I have done to make sure that I disengage the crossbolt safety when I draw the gun is to carry it in a cross draw IWB holster. When I draw the gun I lay my thumb on the hammer and slide it to the left frame of the gun and push in the safety as I take it out. If I don't do this I may hear a click when I expect a bang.
