Del Rio Pete 81 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Bond Arms just announced that they are launching a new Derringer with a 6" barrel. They are having a contest to name the new gun. You vote on their Facebook page. If your suggested name is selected, you'll win a free 6" gun. Let the games begin...

Be a heck of a survival gun. .410 shotgun for birds and small game, .45 colt for bigger things. Make it tactical and capture a whole new market. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nickel City Dude 352 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Bond announced a contest to name the new gun but the web site to enter the contest is still under construction. You can still post on there face book page but the contest web page isn't ready yet. Kinda poor planning on their part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del Rio Pete 81 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 How about the "Crocodile Dundee" Derringer? Now, THIS is a Derringer. (Saying it with an Aussie accent, of course) Dorado. You're free to use this for the contest, if you like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Assassin 1,627 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Derringer Long Range side match of course ! We run a Long Range pocket pistol and derringer side match at Hell On Wheels, it's around 25 yards. Not sure if we would allow a derringer with 6 inch barrels. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grizzly Dave 972 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I'd like to have one with more normal barrels, the long one just isn't my cup of tea. But hey, even if they don't sell a whole bunch it got folks looking at, and talking about their products. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Home Range 0 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just wondering, How difficult would it be to make a 12" with a small stock that it all fits inside? Be a heck of a survival gun. .410 shotgun for birds and small game, .45 colt for bigger things. Make it tactical and capture a whole new market. That would be an SBR and require a $200 sin tax from the ATF. you could make it 16" and be ok. Or keep it at 12" and have a stabilizer instead of a stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del Rio Pete 81 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Who would want one? The same type of person that likes monster trucks and specialty motorcycles, etc. More for a novelty, I suppose. Look how many of us are talking about it. They'll probably get a lot of free press from it. Dorado... How about the "Texas Croc" or "Croc Slayer" or "Kroc Killer". I don't do Facebook, so won't enter the contest. Or, "The Warthog" or "Tank Killer" or "A-10 Warthog" or "Tasmanian Devil" or "Dracula Buster" or "Wasted Water Buffalo" or "Pit Bull" or "The Turner Hooch" or "Massive Mastiff" or "Big Max" or Max Effect". .

Dorado 395 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Call it tactical and a million idiots will buy it because t's tacticool Exactly. Maybe cover it with attachment points for all the gadgets and gizmos, add a bayonet lug and can't forget the shoulder strap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
