Bond Arms Snakeslayer IV 357 Magnum 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 Snake Slayer IV is the long barrel, full size member of the Snake Slayer family, built for shooters who want more barrel and more grip than a pocket derringer offers.
Long Barrel, Full Grip
The 4.25 inch barrel is one of the longest Bond Arms makes, which helps velocity and gives a longer sight radius than short barreled derringers. Paired with extended rosewood grips, it is one of the easier Bond Arms pistols to shoot well with full power .357 Magnum.
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 all stainless frame and barrel are heavy for their size, which takes some of the snap out of .357 Magnum recoil. The extended rosewood grips give room for the whole hand and add a classic look.
Choosing Ammunition
This pistol fires .357 Magnum and .38 Special. Full power .357 Magnum is loud and sharp in a small, light handgun, so many owners practice with .38 Special and carry the load they shoot best. Always wear eye and ear protection.
Carry
A derringer carries well in a pocket or belt holster made for Bond Arms frames. 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.
