I'm going to send mine off this week. Right now it takes 2 hands to cock it and about 10 lbs. of trigger pull.

Pap,

Before you do, speak with Ryan. He'll ask for some serial info and give you very explicit instructions to send your gun back. They turn them around quickly.

Ok, do you have their number?

Warren,
What is the caliber that you have the Bond in? Most common is the 45LC/410/2.5.

As I said before,I have nine different bbls for mine but always keep coming back to the 45LC/410/2.5

I have a large ammo crate full of various 2.5 in 410 loads for the Bond.

Wayne,

Yes, my barrel is a 45/410 however it's 3 1/2". And I too believe it's the most popular caliber. My barrel will also handle 3" loads and its a handful of bite.

I have found that the recoil in the Bond is very well managed as it is mostly in the palm and not the web of the hand. Since Taurus came out with the Judge series a few years ago,that ammo companies have really put out a number of quality self defense loads in 410 and 45LC.

Take a look at ten years back and compare the 410 ammo alone. It is quite an improvement.

Kind of hard to choose between 410 000 buck and the Winchester PDX
or Hornady Critical Defense rounds.

Wayne

All great choices, the Winchester loads have those flat disks that can do lots of damage. For close work, the 45LC is fine but these barrels hardly have enough rifling to stabilize a bullet at extended range.

I have fired various 45LC loads from my Bond Derringer and Taurus Poly Defender. No signs of bullet tipping or any unstabilized fight.
Quite frequently with the Poly Defender,I hit bowling pins at the 50 yard berm with the 45LC loads.

This is either with my reloads or factory loads.

Wayne

My BA derringer made it to their shop yesterday for the action upgrade. Between he cost of the new action and cost to overnight plus insurance, it isn't cheap. Hope it is worth it.
