Howdy Y'all, got some more gun porn for you. This is a Bond Arms "Texas Defender I bought recently from a guy who was getting out of Cowboy action shooting. It is chambered in .357 mag, The best part was the price $50 :o Yup, I was in the right place at the right time.Now I just need to get a couple more barrels for it. ;D

$50??? How in the hell did you manage to rob the guy holding the gun?

Majer, what a Major score, My wife has one just like it , and I think you will really enjoy it. I have shot it with factory full house .357 magnums and it is honestly, not bad. Better recoil than some lightweight revolvers that I have. Greg and Mona Bond are friends of mine, and I highly recommend their product.
Trivia: Greg worked for American Derringer in Waco Texas, and tried to incorporate some of his ideas into their product line, they did not see the benefits, he opened up a shop down the street to develope Bond arms, His product was ready for the shot show, and on the morning they were to drive to Vegas, all 4 tires were slashed. Nobody knows by whom.
My wife got one of the first, serial numbered with her initials + the number 1. The Bonds are great people with a great product.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Can you still get the wrist quick deployment draw device thingy? Nice little package with a big boom.
Nice Deal.

M25, Do you know if Bond has a spring kit to bring the trigger pull down to a reasonable level? The only thing I don't care for is the 15 pound trigger pull. Thanks in advance

Gee....maybe he sold you a dud. I'll take it off your hands for $75 and shipping? ;D
:D
:D
Eh?

Now Rastus, If it does turn out to be a dud, I could NEVER pawn it off to a DRTV member, That would be just wrong, I am a firm believer in the Cowboy way and I'll just have to "Cowboy up" and accept the fact that the gun was a poor investment... ;D ;D

Majer-
Thought you might want to know that your very same $50 piece is listed for $380 on gunbroker.com:

Well, at least it isn't as hot as a two dollar pistol ;D I wish I could find a deal like that
-
Majer I have not seen a trigger kit, but I found the design of the trigger shape is a little awkward, I'll bet there is at least 2 lbs difference in pull weight from pressing on middle of the trigger to the just pressing the bottom edge of the trigger. A well made trigger shoe might improve things, using the lowest part of the trigger as an anchor point.

I called Bond and talked with Travis, He said they are coming out with a "Compitition spring for the pistol and should have them in a couple of weeks. I'll update when I find out more.
