Granbury, TX (January 22, 2026) — America’s public lands continue to draw millions of outdoor enthusiasts each year. Hunters, anglers, hikers, ranchers, and adventurers who value time spent far from the pavement. While the outdoors offer unmatched freedom and solitude, they also come with unpredictable risks. From venomous snakes and aggressive wildlife to unexpected human threats, personal protection remains a priority for many who travel off the beaten path.
Designed with these realities in mind, the Bond Arms® Snake Slayer™ has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted and versatile defensive firearms for outdoor use. Compact, powerful, and exceptionally reliable, the Snake Slayer remains Bond Arms’ most popular model chosen by outdoorsmen and women who demand confidence in the field.
The Snake Slayer is available chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, as well as a dual-caliber option accommodating both .45 Colt and .410 shotshells. Built for adaptability, the platform allows users to easily swap barrels, with additional caliber options available from Bond Arms, including .22 caliber. Every Snake Slayer features Bond Arms’ renowned safety and durability standards, including a cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pins, a full trigger guard, and a spring-loaded cammed locking lever.
Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the Snake Slayer delivers rugged performance in harsh environments while maintaining a clean, classic aesthetic. A patented rebounding and locking hammer automatically returns to a safe position after firing, while the extended rosewood grip etched with the Snake Slayer emblem and finished with snakeskin-style checkering.
The 3.5-inch barrel is equipped with a front blade and fixed rear sights and accommodates 2.5- to 3-inch shells, depending on caliber. With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a weight of 22 ounces, the Snake Slayer balances portability with formidable stopping power.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Arms, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.
