![]() We fired multiple five shot groups for record. Our targets were Hoppe’s Bullseye Pistol Targets. We used the Caldwell Tack Driver Shooting Rest for stability. Given the short barrel of the Snake Slayer, it is unlikely that we would ever need to shoot it at more than 15 yards. Our previous tests of the SIG Elite Ammunition confirmed that it is as good as it gets. We are appreciative of that, because if you are going to test a firearm for accuracy, you do not want to use anything except high quality ammunition. SIG was kind enough to provide us with both. With that in mind, we headed to the Zia Rifle and Pistol Club outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, with several boxes of SIG SAUER Elite Ammunition. ![]() The only major questions that remain are: How does the Bond Arms Snake Slayer shoot & is the recoil manageable?

For example, there is a stainless steel crossbolt safety, a hammer that rebounds to a blocked position off of the firing pin and a key entry internal Safety Locking Device (SLD) which is an effective child safety device. They added a lot of extra features to this gun, not found on other pocket pistols. To our knowledge, this is the only derringer on the market with the capability of changing barrels and calibers without a gunsmith being involved. The patented locking lever ( which is also the rapid reloading lever) precisely locks the barrel to the frame for a perfect fit. Changing barrels requires only a 1/8″ Allen wrench. That is what allows the Bond Arms Snake Slayer pistol to accept different barrels for various cartridges without custom-fitting by a gunsmith.

The weight is kept down in part by the polymer thumbhole stock, while the barrel is 18" of stainless steel. The unloaded weight of 3.6 pounds means the Snake Charmer is not a burden to carry on those hikes. This single-shot handgun holds one 410 bore shell, perfect for eliminating any scaly fiend you are unfortunate enough to encounter on a lengthy hike. is slightly mis-named as it less "charms' the snakes and more "obliterates' them. This means that in spite of an 18” stainless steel barrel, the Snake Charmer is still a relatively comfortable weapon to carry on those long desert or woodland hikes.
