Bond Arms Rawhide 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 Rawhide is one of the most affordable ways into a Bond Arms hand cannon, with the same rebounding hammer, stainless frame and barrel, and quality parts as the more expensive satin models.
Cowboy Style Frame
The Rawhide uses a cowboy style frame, which means no trigger guard, just like the derringers of the old West. Because there is no guard, carry it only in a holster that fully covers the trigger, and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
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 and 2.5 inch barrel wear the Rough and Tumble finish, a matte surface that shrugs off holster wear. Standard rubber grips keep the pistol compact. At 4.5 inches long and about 19 ounces, it is small enough for a pocket or ankle holster.
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.
