Bond Arms Dead Mans Hand 45 Colt 410 Overview
Bond Arms builds its derringers in Granbury, Texas, from stainless steel. They are simple, strong and compact, and they are popular as backup guns, trail guns and collector pieces. The Dead Mans Hand takes its name from the poker hand Wild Bill Hickok was said to be holding when he was shot, and its engraving and star grips lean into that old West story.
Engraved Barrel and Star Grips
The 4.25 inch flat sided barrel carries special engraving that marks it as a limited edition, and each extended grip panel is engraved with a black star. The rough finish keeps it looking like a working gun rather than a safe queen.
Two Barrels
Like other Bond Arms derringers, this pistol has two stacked barrels and fires one round from each. On standard Bond Arms frames, the barrel block can be swapped for barrels in other calibers, so one frame can cover several cartridges.
Safety and Action
Bond Arms pistols are single action, so you cock the hammer for each shot. A cross-bolt safety and a rebounding hammer add security. Bond Arms warns owners never to carry its handguns cocked and locked, so carry with the hammer down and follow the owner manual.
Grip and Frame
The stainless Hand Cannon frame is the sturdiest Bond Arms frame, built to handle both .45 Colt and .410 shotshells. The extended grips give room for the whole hand, and at about 23.5 ounces the pistol has enough weight to keep recoil manageable.
Choosing Ammunition
This pistol fires .45 Colt cartridges and .410 shotshells. Bond Arms warns never to fire .454 Casull, .45 +P, .45 Corbon or other high pressure .45 loads in its pistols. Check the barrel marking for the longest .410 shell it accepts. Shot loads work well on snakes and pests at close range, and standard pressure .45 Colt is the choice for everything else.
Carry
This package includes a leather holster made for this frame and barrel, so it is ready to wear on a belt out of the box. Practice drawing, cocking and firing with an unloaded gun until it becomes second nature.
Cleaning and Care
Stainless steel resists rust, but clean both bores after each range trip, especially after shooting lead bullets or shot shells. 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.
