It is chambered for .45 Colt and .410 shot shells, offering a unique mix of heavy single-projectile performance and close-range shot capability. Priced at $561.99, this Derringer brings durable materials and distinctive styling to a compact defensive package.

Design and Materials

The stainless steel double barrel and frame provide corrosion resistance and the rigidity needed for repeated firing with higher-pressure cartridges like .45 Colt. The rosewood grips are more than cosmetic: contoured palms and tactile wood grain give a secure purchase while the Texas outline and star add collectible character. The snake motif at the base of the grips is a nod to traditional Western styling and improves visual balance.

Why the Derringer Form Factor Works

Derringers are intended as close-range, last-resort defensive tools or specialist field sidearms. The Bond Arms Texan keeps the footprint minimal while offering two heavy-hitting options: interchangeable barrels and the robust hinge-and-lock system Bond Arms is known for across its various models.

Ballistics: .45 Colt vs .410 Shot Shells

.45 Colt delivers substantial muzzle energy and far more penetration and stopping power than typical pocket calibers; it’s appropriate for those who prioritize terminal performance in a short-barrel platform. The ability to chamber .410 shot shells turns the Texan into a flexible close-range tool—useful for short-range small-game or pest control, or as a spread option in a confined defensive scenario. Training is essential: recoil characteristics differ significantly between .45 Colt rounds and .410 shots, and proper ammunition selection will dictate practical effectiveness.
