The Bond Arms Snake Slayer .357 Magnum/.38 Special derringer delivers reliable backup protection in a compact, portable package built for outdoor enthusiasts. This 3.5" barrel derringer is purpose-built for hikers, campers, and anglers who need dependable defensive firepower without the bulk—chambered for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition, giving you versatility in a single, pocket-friendly platform.
Built from stainless steel, the Snake Slayer is engineered to withstand field use and weather exposure. The extended rosewood grip provides a solid firing hold despite the pistol's compact footprint, while the fixed front blade sight and rear sight offer quick target acquisition in defensive situations. At just 22 ounces with an overall length of 5.5 inches, this derringer rides easily in a pack, vest pocket, or waistband without adding noticeable weight or printing—ideal when you're hours from help.
The Snake Slayer's lockwork reflects Bond Arms' design priorities: a patented rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins minimize accidental discharge risk, while the cross-bolt safety provides a second layer of security when it's holstered or carried. The automatic spent casing extractor clears empties quickly after firing, and the spring-loaded cammed locking lever ensures reliable barrel break action every time. Since it's compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels, you can adapt the platform to your needs as your gear collection grows.
This isn't a gun for the range rat—it's purpose-built defensive insurance for remote outdoor travel where alternatives aren't practical. If you're regularly beyond cell service or in snake country, the Snake Slayer's combination of caliber power, reliability, and portability makes sense.
