Design and build quality
The BOND ARMS TEXAS DEFENDER is built around a stainless steel satin double barrel and frame with extended rosewood grips featuring an outline of Texas. It measures roughly 5″ overall and weighs about 20 oz, putting it squarely in the pocketable-but-substantial category. Fixed front and rear blade sights keep the profile slim while offering intuitive alignment for close-range defensive use.
Key features and mechanics
This single-action derringer chambered for .45 Colt and .410 bore delivers two rounds in a compact package (2rd capacity). It uses a rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins for safe, consistent ignition and includes a crossbolt safety. The spring-loaded cammed locking lever tightens the barrel-frame fit for a secure lockup and rapid loading/unloading. An automatic spent casing extractor speeds reloads on most calibers (note: extractor function excludes 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm and .45 ACP).
Interchangeable barrels and practical versatility
Interchangeable barrels expand the TEXAS DEFENDER’s role beyond a bedside or deep-concealment option. Shooters can switch barrels for different loads or maintenance, making this derringer a versatile platform for personal defense or trail carry. The combination of .45 Colt’s proven energy and the .410 gauge’s shot spread makes it a unique defensive pairing for very close engagements.
At a price of $454.99, the BOND ARMS TEXAS DEFENDER represents a specialty defensive tool with premium materials and thoughtful engineering. For those evaluating compact, hard-hitting options, it’s a practical consideration.
