Bond Arms Roughneck 380 ACP 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 Roughneck was designed to bring the Bond Arms build quality to a lower price by skipping the polished finish. Underneath, it has the same patented rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins and spring loaded cammed locking lever as the premium models.
Rough Finish, Full Quality
Bond Arms lowered the price of the Roughneck by tumbling the parts instead of hand polishing them. The rough finish hides holster wear and handling marks, while the internals and stainless steel are the same as the more expensive models. It is compatible with all standard Bond Arms barrels.
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
At 4.5 inches long and about 19 ounces, the Roughneck is small enough for a pocket or ankle holster. Standard rubber grips keep the profile slim, and the trigger guard adds a measure of protection when carrying. Bond Arms recommends smooth lined holsters for the rough finish.
Choosing Ammunition
This pistol fires .380 ACP, one of the mildest centerfire defensive cartridges, which makes it comfortable in a small two shot pistol. Choose a quality hollow point for carry and practice with the same weight bullet.
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.
