Description

Bond Arms Cyclops 44 Magnum Holster Overview
Bond Arms builds its derringers in Granbury, Texas, and the Cyclops is the biggest member of the family. Instead of two barrels, it uses one large bore that is part of the Bond Arms Rough Series, built to put a serious cartridge in a compact, all steel handgun.
Single Shot Design
Most Bond Arms pistols stack two barrels. The Cyclops uses one barrel bored for a single round, and the extra steel adds weight up front to help with recoil. At about 28 ounces it is still a light gun for 44 Magnum, so recoil is heavy. Start with lighter loads and work up.
Grip and Trigger
The proprietary B6 resin grip is extended to fill the whole hand, and its texture keeps the gun from shifting when it fires. The single action trigger breaks at about 7 lb, and you cock the hammer for each shot.
Loading and Unloading
Like other Bond Arms pistols, the barrel tips up for loading. Bond Arms notes that the Cyclops barrel has no extractor, so you remove the fired case by hand. Practice the routine with snap caps before your first range trip.
Safety
Bond Arms handguns use a cross-bolt safety and a rebounding hammer. Bond Arms warns owners never to carry its handguns cocked and locked. Carry with the hammer down and follow the owner manual.
Who Shoots a Cyclops
The Cyclops is part conversation piece and part backup gun. Hunters and hikers like the idea of a big bore round in a compact package, and collectors like owning the most extreme pistol in the Bond Arms lineup. Because it is a single shot, it is not a replacement for a revolver or a semi-automatic as a primary defensive gun.
Choosing Ammunition
A .44 Magnum chamber also fires .44 Special, which is a much gentler way to get to know this pistol. For full power loads, 240 grain bullets are the standard choice. Expect stout recoil and a loud report from the short barrel, and always wear eye and ear protection.
Holster and Carry
This package includes a Cyclops holster made for the frame and grip. Check that it fits your belt before you head out, and keep the hammer down when carrying.
Cleaning and Care
Stainless steel resists rust, but you should still clean the bore after every range trip, especially after shooting lead bullets. Wipe the frame with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
State Laws
Some states and cities restrict handgun purchases or limit which models can be sold. Check your state and local laws before you order. Pennsylvania buyers can transfer at our Collegeville shop or at any FFL.
