Compact, reliable, and built for practical versatility, a modern derringer still has a place in a defensive toolkit. Whether as a deep-cover backup or a range conversation piece, operators and collectors look for quality machining, solid lockup, and the option to tailor performance with interchangeable barrels.

BOND ARMS CENTURY 2000 comes with an extra 3″ .45/410 barrel (marked as 2.5″, but measures 3″) and the original box, offered at $329.99. This package gives the owner both a stout single-shot handgun platform and a short-barrel shotgun option, expanding utility without adding a bulky system.

Design and build

Bond Arms has a reputation for robust stainless construction and positive lockup, and the CENTURY 2000 follows that lineage. The small footprint and two-barrel design offer quick deployment from a pocket or small holster. The included original box is a bonus for collectors or for secure storage.

Barrel versatility

Highlighting this particular offering is the extra 3″ .45/410 barrel. That barrel configuration gives shooters access to two distinct ballistic profiles: .45 Colt-style rounds for heavy, single-projectile impact, and .410 shotshells for close-range spread. The listing notes the extra barrel is marked 2.5″ but measures 3″ — an important detail for users focused on ballistics, sight picture, and case compatibility.

Practical applications

In a defensive context the .45 option provides significant terminal performance for a short-barrel platform, while the .410 barrel is useful for extremely close engagements where shot spread mitigates precise shot placement. For owners who value redundancy, the ability to swap barrels quickly adds mission flexibility without a large training burden.

At $329.99, this package—complete with original packaging and the extra barrel—represents a practical entry point into a unique segment of compact defensive firearms. For collectors or operators seeking a ready-to-use pair of barrel options, this item is compelling. View product details and pricing
