Bond Arms Inc. is located in Granbury, Texas and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms derringer. The company is "The finest in double barrel protection". The company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 and was licensed by the BATF as a firearms manufacturer and dealer. Bond Arms is the leader in the derringer industry in new product development.

The company was owned by Greg Bond. Greg is a mechanical engineer and journeyman tool and die maker with 28 years manufacturing experience. He designed the product, built and tested prototypes and designed and built most of the tooling needed to begin manufacturing. His brother Gordon Bond has now been promoted to running the family gun manufacturing company.

A derringer has been defined as "the smallest usable handgun of a given caliber". They are not repeating handguns such as revolvers, or semi-automatic. Bond Arms has taken the new metallurgy techniques and combined that with the new improvements in cartridges and bullets. This combination has taken the derringer from the history books to the modern age of handgun technology. The Bond Arms derringers are being used by sportsmen all over the world. The .45 Long Colt /410 Shotshell Texas Defender and Snake Slayer derringers are an excellent defense against snakes and other wild game.
