Bond Arms SNAKE SLAYER 410/45 Long Colt

[Cobaltios]

Damn, pretty impressive for a little shot.

[DesertsWilderness]

Your 1911 grips are badass.

[HeiligensErzengel]

You believe in a wrong God.

Your God should be Jeschua`s Abba (which means Father in Hebrew).

[grintoday]

Poor gun safety. Keep the finger off the trigger until ready to fire.

[ToothpickMcBrainy]

DOUBLE GLASSES

[Defconfx]

I wish i could get this in CA...

[vinosd773]

yeah but 400 bucks isnt that a little pricey for a double barrel pistol? i almost think its worth it, ive been looking for a 410 45 pistol with a shell ejector because ive noticed with those cobray leinads, its a real bitch to unload the shells and this has a shell ejector, and with the leinad you have to manually switch barrels and this does it for you i am truely amazed, and i want want but the price is braking my balls..do they make this gun in a brake open in the down position instead of up?

[sreksuhn244]

was gonna get an lc9. gonna get a texas defender. thanks for showing all the 410 shot. bond should give you royalty.

[Squaremouth1]

Thanks! Thinking of buying one for home protection.

[Hamm0ckjames]

I purchased A Snake Slayer today and put a box and a half through it already. What an excellent little Shooter! I bought it over the Taurus Judge which I felt is too bulky for the job. I'll use this little shooter for snakes and close quarter defense. It's very well built and accurate as well. Bond Arms sure made a winner with this one!

[system0Fhonor]

nice 45

[blackcerberus999]

Very in-depth and informative- I'm definitely getting one of these the first chance I can as a backup, or hell even just my carry altogether. Great video!

[TheSerenity63]

SSIV = Happy Camper ; )

[reynosa98]

MUTHAFUCKA! You mess wit that thang & you be goin' home own the range in a hurry in a ziplock bag, cuz. Don't bother callin' a pair of medics cuz you be goin' straight 2 refrigerater heaven, homey. Don't waste your time hangin out at the scene of the crime cuz they done pronounced you DOA own da SPOT, dawg. The only thang left 2 do is 2 get your ass fitted fo' a toetag, that's if they can find a toe 2 tag.

[saisonsept]

get the 4 1/4 "

[pancakesNwafflezVids]

this looks pretty cool. but i prefer my uncles remington 810 to blast snakes

[thehammerofzuess]

where did u get ur grips for that 1911

[daleboyrdm]

hey mr.Straightshot, is it possible for you to ever do a video on any of the other calibers that bond offers? ex: 9mm, .357, .40 S&W?

[offonroad]

Damn you! Now I have to buy one!

[jjpeterson4381]

Fantastic review, and a great video. You had said that you and your friends were curious about the recoil, but you never gave your conclusion. What is your conclusion on the recoil?

[roldans99]

I enjoyed very much your vid, very informative. Good work. I am planning to get a snake slayer when I can. Best

[MikeDaFerret]

Does snake slayer have a 22lr derringer?

I'm looking for a decent 22 derringer.

[drewsterm7]

i thought the saying was henry colt made man equal

[GuGtheone]

@drewsterm7 that is indeed how the saying goes.

[fishtx521]

nice video, you said that 1911 was standard, however a standard 1911 has 5" barrel unlike the one shown....

[308CaliberJustice]

Those are some awesome grips on that 1911. Where did you get those? 

[tomj74]

Just wanted to let you know that this review single-handedly convinced me to get one of these derringers. I chose the Century 2000 model. Thanks for the review.

[halflifeh]

I really would love to have that double barrelled pistol and btw nice grip on the springfield•

[amcycletrans]

I just got back from the range after shooting my new Bond Arms Cowboy Defender for the very first time and all I can say is "WOW"!!. I love this gun!. I ordered the extended rosewood star grips from Bond and have no problem at all in handling while shooting this weapon with one hand. The Winchester supreme elite PDX personal defense ammunition I was using leaves a nice pattern on paper targets but did start to get a bit flakey after 10 feet which would be expected with a 3" barrel firing 2 1/4"

[aznpimpx87]

It kicks like a mule if your not prepared

[MrBallistics]

what do you think will be more effective, .45 lc or slugs?

[stevo642007]

@MrBallistics 45 colt hands down. a 250 grain 45 is going thump much more than a slug.

[Vergon3256]

Good video brother, thanks, I think I go buy me one

[TheRedRabbit911]

Great review. What's your thoughts on the load design? What's your feeling about putting your hand in front of the barrel when you reload it?

[bacaboi]

I own a snake slayer with a 3 inch barrel, and I enjoy shooting it. It does actually feel like your holding a chunk of metal; its high quality! The only thing it the small handle(which you can buy a larger one if you wanted).

[mrstraightshot]

@MAAANVE The Snake Slayer is designed primarily to be a short range defense weapon. 

[zombieturtle01]

@mrstraightshot I've been interested in finding a simple but very safe handgun strictly for defense purposes, is something like this recommended?

[stevo642007]

@zombieturtle01 why not??? at close range where most situations occur , the 410 federal, or PDX will be more than enough. I carry a snake slayer 4 with both 410 000 buck, and gold dot 250 grain 45 hollow points. even if the 45 does not expand due to the short barrel, a 45 cal bullet still makes a very big hole. at night when the bad guys come out, and you cannot see the sights, the buck shot will compensate for shaky hands. the snake slayer is a good choice for CCW.

[WATCHINBEAR]

@MAAANVE I have the Bond Texas Defender which is a little smaller than the snake slayer but shoots the same ammo: .410/ .45 lc. The barrels are rifled inside.

[idsman75]

@MAAANVE It doesn't give much stability but my friend's gun has a very small amount of rifling at the very end of the barrel. It's not much and it's very shallow. It has to be there or this gun would be a short-barrelled shotgun (illegal). Why is everyone calling it the "Long Colt" now. Firearms manufacturers are even doing it. It's slang and incorrect. The proper term is .45 Colt.

[MajesticCanadian]

@MAAANVE we just got 2 in at my work. the barrel is grooved for the last 1/3 of the barrel so it would give it a bit of spin

[stevo642007]

@MAAANVE there is some rifling in the barrel, at the end. it shoot 45 colts well.......at close range.

[dirtball91]

I have Ranger in the same caliber options, iv had it for about a year maybe a little less, this past saturday i put 30 or so shells out of it and im tellin ya after about 20 shots the hands start to get sore. I love that little sucker not to mention the holy shit factor when people first see it. This is a in ur face kinda firearm with the buckshot. Nice review and .45.

[Angelsweep]

That .45 is one of the nicest I've seen.

[sevendeadly69]

love the grips on the 1911

[cartoonconn]

I like the grips on your 1911. Classy. 

[Lillredneck]

Yea, you sound jyst like sootch00.

And it's definately sam colt, not bond arms.lol

[bobbio101]

Awesome visdeos I just bought a Century 2000 ! Please subscribe to my channel

[393strokedcoupe]

Great video. If anyone hasn't said it yet, you sound exactly like sootch00. Are you guys brothers?

[cbsmoraine]

this was an awesome review. cant beat made in texas bond arms. i cant wait to pick up my bond arms ranger. from what i gather from what ive read on the bond arms guns, you have to compensate for the top/bottem barrel firing, ive heard that the sights are only good for on of the 2 barrels, then the other barrel either ends up high or low. i dont mind either way cause i plan on using it for conceal carry, but for smaller targets(other than humans) im unsure of how it will work

[mentalsplice]

just wanted to say the" Snake Slayer" was in the" Jonah Hex" movie !

[gvi341984]

You have a very soothing voice.

[smartguy104]

Can you shoot +p 45 colt?

[mechredd]

I wonder how this gun would preform with Winchester's new PDX1 ammo.

[ispitthetruth]

a modern deringer?

[rpgricky]

hows the accuracy with the 45 long colt? if you can find the ammo that is?

[q2alphadog]

Do not test fire the gun with the barrel open. The trigger will dent the top of your barrel. doh!!!

[ZandRTheFlop]

Love video mate, but I notice you are wearing sunglasses and you have a pair on your cap, how bizarre.

[mrstraightshot]

@ZandRTheFlop Actually, those are safety glasses I'm wearing. Sunglasses ARE on my cap.

[ZandRTheFlop]

@mrstraightshot Sorry mate, you mentioned that in the clip but i had already sent the message. Love the guns though, would love to get a Bond Arms or Public Defender. Handguns which can fire .410 are the dogs bollocks, which is a good thing.

One more thing MrStraightShot, has anyone said you look like Hugh Hefner, that is also a cool thing.

Looking forward to your next video.

[Meggie732]

ASOME VIDIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[h2omadman]

those federal .410 handgun load kick but

[cceessaarr234]

Nice video. Very well done and illustrated. Thanks!!!

[mollett89]

balls

[saj12100]

cutlerylover has those same 1911 grips!

[cirethgr8]

Cool little gun. The folks of FLA. better arm themselves....and quick. All kind of Pythons, Green Mambas and King Cobras are spotted in numerous places throughout FLA.

[mandograss]

I just bought mine and the recoil is not that bad to be shooting 7 1/2 shot. would this be good for close self defence or what is recomended? Buckshot? the bird shot will tear a target up just like shown on video. I want a 45 acp also.

[BenB8290]

@mandograss Mind if I ask how much. I'm looking into one and found one locally for $439.

[stevo642007]

@mandograss if you shot someone in the face with the Number 7 it would mess up their day, but federal makes some good handgun loads in # 4 ,and 000 buck, either one would be good. for inside the house, use the #4 outside for protection, use the 000 and 45 LC is a good man stopper as well.

[champion221elite]

Great video!

[lino9408]

I have the colt .45 snake slayer

[MongoSafari]

EXCELLENT VIDEO.

I am looking into a Bond pistol but I'm torn between the 45 ACP and 44 Special.

Please post more.

[SpeedingStudent]

What a cool little gun.

i love the simplicity.

[Sharpbevel]

Excellent video. These guns are built like a tank. I have the .45 Colt/.410 but live in an area with no snakes so I am getting the .44 SPL barrel & will use that. Gun is solid and well built and looks nearly indestructable. Bottom barrel shoots point of aim at 10'. Top barrel shoots high. You need to practice disengaging that safety too or all you will hear is a loud click and not a bang!

[VergilGrimm000]

This video made me get mine. Got it at the shop for 747$ and it even came with 3 different barrells. and its alot quieter then my derringer...

[SilverWolfM200LDH]

I thought this video was very well done, I thought it was very professional and it was full of great, interesting, very useful information. I have always thought Derringers were very interesting and I liked seeing the well-built craftsmanship of the Bond Arms Snake Slayer. I appreciate fine craftsmanship and taking pride in your work. Are the .410 triple ot buckshot for the Snake Slayer Derringer hard to come by? To me they seem to be a "wildcat" round and hard to find and subsequently expensive

[BenB8290]

They make one that is chambered in .45 ACP.

[TheMedievalMan]

I notice a lot of you girls want this as a lady gun. I would recommend some of the more lighter weight pistols, like a Kel-Tec P3AT or a Ruger LCP instead. More shots, less recoil, lighter and thinner to carry around.

[muaythai193]

could you tell me which ammunition, that can be used in this gun, does the most damage?

[stevo642007]

@muaythai193 the most damage??? the Winchester 000 buck shot in the 3 inch shell, has 5 pellets. I think this round would be the most ferocious, it is a bit punishing to fire out of the snake slayer.

[hot2warm]

Nice grip on that 45!

[TheLimo64]

@hot2warm agreed! that's just badass!

[ta2joe13]

@hot2warm agreed

[Hardtailxxx]

The S.S. Is WAY overpriced... I'd take a Judge Public Defender (some found with a lower price point) over The S.S. any day. The new Judge P.D. is only a hair larger, but carries an extra 3 rounds... Not to mention is a hell of a lot more fun, and easier on your hand...

[blueaces2]

The Snake Slayer is the only gun on the market you can touch for their price range in a .45cal. You say the Judge is only a "hair" bigger....your crazy!! Its the difference between carrying a cannon and a sub-compact. The Judge is over kill and waay to big. Tell me whats not gunna drop in a everyday self or home defence situation after two hits from a 000' buck .410 slug or a .45 lc?? 5 Shots is overkill for 99% of the situation most people are defending themselves from. But thats just me!

[fbs9494]

If you swap out the barrels you can.

[alzlon]

with some work, yes it can. but it is not advisible.

[496Thunder]

I have the Texas defender with it and I also have the 4.25" long .410/.45colt barrel. Ive shot .357's, .38 +Ps, some cheap .45 colt JHP, 3" #4 shot .410, and 2 ½" #6 shot .410 with it. By far the least comfortable to shoot are the .410 shot shells. Far worse than any 45 ACP I have shot. The 3 pistol rounds where not bad.

[496Thunder]

Yes you can get a .357 mag/38 spl. barrel for it. Also .45ACP, .45GAP, .44spl, 10mm, .40s&w, 9mm, .32h&r, and .22lr all in 3" barrels. I may have missed 1 and I think they use to make a .44mag barrel for it.

[treeboy112]

can it take a 357. mag lol

[bigmikeyy]

What an EXCELLENT review, thank you for posting!!!

[CatfishMan43]

that would be a good poker gun...

[ChrisJustAsIAm]

Thanks for the review. I am in the market for a little snake charmer of some sort and I was debating between a little .22 with rat shot or something along the lines of the snake slayer or Texas defender. (same gun, shorter barrel) Your review was very well done and informative. I hope to see more like it in the future.

[phillynate66]

I own the Snakeslayer and it is an incredible gun. The thing kicks like a mule. Own a 1911 and unlike this vid, the kick on the snakeslayer feels like double! You should see the flames this thing shoots at night with such a short barrel.

[bbatse]

He's not lying. I sold my Snake Slayer to him. No joke, lol.

[MsCLEANHEART]

Great demo. I'm not a gun owner yet, I'm shopping. As a lady, I think I can handle this pretty good. 2 thumbs up.

[bbatse]

Absolutely no offense intended by this, but having owned this gun before, the kick from this gun is pretty tremedous, especially if you've never owned a gun. I would NOT recommend this as a first gun. Don't get me wrong, it's a great gun, and a TON of fun to shoot... if you can handle it.

[saj12100]

cutlerylover has those 1911 grips!!!

[CWHITE2204]

Well done. That last test with the bird shot was LOL impressive as he blew the target plumb off the mounting board! As a close range social work gun I'm in.

[88Drizzt]

Very nice pistol

[hwoods01]

Well, one this is for certain: My opinion of the .410 just went up a few points.

[FabioCrow07770]

Lol same here...I Might get one and do my own little review =P

[eagle42492]

Very nice quality video.  This definitely influenced my purchase of the 3.5" SnakeSlayer.

[littled10100]

Found the video to be very informative and useful in my selection of the correct ammunition. Enjoyed the look and the efficiency of the snake slayer, was a very well-made looking weapon. Looking forward to any additional new instructional videos in the future. Thanks, mrstraightshot!

[swampisle]

Obviously, a short-range weapon. The trigger pull on these is fairly robust. Having said that, you only need to pull it once for most targets. I find mine very pocketable with most of my jeans. The firepower is awesome. It's a hand-cannon, a sawed-off .410 shotgun.

[evilowltoo]

Hi the Snake slayer is one of the best guns you could own ,I purchased one and very glad i did great quality that is hard to find.I also own the hat.,well i was in WalMart shopping ,when a guy almost stabbed me with a fishing pole in his basket,he then looked up and saw my Bond Arms hat ,he then said to me that I was the last guy in the store that he wanted to screw with.this is no joke!! i smiled and said no problem to the guy, the hat packs as good of a punch the snake slayer.thanks Sleepy

[MelindaHelton1]

My husband is the one that is into guns. I have been trying to find one for me. This video makes me want to get a snake slayer!!!

[JasonRose97]

Awsome!!! This video provides a great step by step instruction on firing a unique weapon.

[TheWendyloo]

As a female this looks like a good carry. Enjoyed the video a great how-to! Two thumbs up!!!

[jasonraddin]

Rusty! VERY nice video! This looks like it was made for TV, not YouTube!

Looks like a great gun. You and I are going to have to go shooting soon! Hope to see more videos like this from ya.

[marycook99]

Wow. Love this demo video, very well produced, love the close up shots and easy instructions. This should be called 'shooting for dummies 101"... would love to see more. Love the Texas accent! Very "Georg Bush" TexanISH. Good job.

[AkiraSukura]

Great feature on this awesome handgun. I wish more demos were shot and edited this well. When is the next video gonna be out?

[pinToable]

Awesome demo. Best I've seen not only on this handgun, but on youtube as a whole. This guy needs to do lots more!!
