Rowdy Ripley, Go with the Bond, it's a better gun and you can buy extra barrels in different caliber for it. You can't swap the barrels on an American Derringer

I have a Cobra Enterprises Double Derringer in 38 Special that I have been shooting for a couple of years now that I am quite happy with.  You might look into one of these as an alternative.

They're about the same size, The Bond is just a more versatile firearm, It also has a faster barrel release for quicker reloads.

Go ahead and get the competition spring for the Bond when you get the gun if you do end up with a Bond.

Sure would be nice if Bond was available in CA but the only derringer allowed for sale is the Cobra.

I dont know how their govenment got so twisted. blame that on morons in power i guess.)

I don't know if ANY new derringers can be sold in Maryland.

The bond seems a little heavy to me , I`ve owned a Davis 38 cal derringer made in CA. for the last 20 some odd years ...Derringers aren`t much fun to shoot , unless ya enjoy missing ...I didn`t buy the Bonds because I wanted one I could carry in my pocket when I go to town //I hardly notice the Davis is in my pocket it`s so much lighter . It also looks more like a Remmington copy . They do make some good hosters for the Bonds , but if I`m gonna wear a hoster I`m gonna carry a sixshooter.

   Greetings, All!

   To give the devil some due, my ADC M-4 .44 Spl is a great shooter! CCI/Speer Shot Capsules filled with #12 work great up close, although California says NO to the .410, and I don't think We can change that without a dedicated campaign... Trigger is hell, though!

   Be Well!
