No thanks.

No thanks.
Seconded. There's "small" and then there's "too small" and that is definitely the latter, in my humble opinion... Especially when it's "not extremely accurate past 7 yards..." ???
Belly gun ;)

Exactly. They can be had in .357M, .44Spl, .44M, .45LC/ACP and others. Why not 10mm? They are what they are, and they are not for everybody or every situation. If I have to have something that size, I'd like it in 10mm just fine. It would be one helluva backup for the backup.
American Derringer has offered their Model 1 in 10mm (M110MMAST) for quite some time
It's been on my "Wish List" for years
I have it in 45LC/410 and it is a hand full but fun on milk jug don't think the 10mm is heavier than that and the barrel will have more steel too
At some point I'll snag one just to toss it in the collection.
I had the opportunity to get the free barrel of my choice with the bond i had, even then i still passed on the 10mm and went with 45/410. Never did shoot the gun, sold it when i found out i needed surgery on both hands.

Yeah, I always thought they would be brutal to shoot. :P
Oh...you didn't need surgery
because you shot them....

no, severe carpal tunnel and bad nerve damage
Revisiting this thread rather than start a new one. I may be getting a bond arms frame as a gift from someone moving to California. His frame is not the CA approved model, so since you can put the .45/410 barrel on it, he just doesn't want the hassle.
Knowing it is "Minute of Pie Plate at 25yards" what would you load for this in 10mm?
I was thinking of having the throats cut to load a DEWC. In my opinion, this would be a perfect close range loading. 180-210gr deep hollow point so it gets explosive penetration without much chance of it going out the other side.
Other thoughts?

Same Caliber B.U.G.!
I want one, but with the 4.25" barrel.
I may start a Bond Arms collection next year.
Dood calls it the "Bond Arms Sh!t Kit" but the title is the Bond Arms SHTF Kit.
If you have a wide array of the Bond Arms Barrels, you can use any scrounged
up or found ammo in the event of the "Poo-Poo Hits the Propellor" (SHTF) :))

I have the Cowboy Defender with barrels for 45/410, 45 ACP, 38/357.
The 45 and 357 are 3" the 45/410 is a 3.5" but shoots 3" shells.
I have shot allot probably close to 300 rounds through this gun. The one that kicks the hardest is the 230 grain +P 45 ACP.
I have the rubber grips on mine. The 410 is by the best defensive rounds in my opinion. I like Federal 2.5 inch that has a 40 caliber slug and some buck shot. But the Federal 3" 00 buck carries 6 pellets and is impressive and hits target well at 21 feet. The front site on these is probably the worse thing and works against quick target acquisition. I am contemplating putting it in the mill and take down the front sight and then putting a dove tail so that I can put a green fiber optics front sight for quick and accurate target acquisition. Now these guns are accurate but it takes allot,of disiplined because of the sight issues. But at 10 feet and under using point shooting can get you multiple hits very quickly.
I like novelty guns like this. I have a NAA 22 short and the Sidewinder. Built like jewelry like the Bond Arms. May get one in the future for collectability if the price drops.

I dont know if it was a screwup or what but the one i had was only $156 from buds... Between myself and 2 friends we ordered 6 of them.
I know it is an old topic, my first post here. The Bond is known to have chambered their derringer in 44mag. Mine is strictly 45 colt, 650fps with a factory type load. Makes a huge fireball with 230 grain ACP bullet and a goodly amount of unique. The lower barrel is pretty much regulated to the sights.
