Key Features
- American Flag Cerakote Finish — Why it matters: This patriotic coating isn’t just for looks; it’s a durable Cerakote layer that resists holster wear, sweat, and daily carry abuse in an urban environment.
- Extended Black Ash Grips — Why it matters: The longer grip gives you a full three-finger hold, improving recoil control with .45 Colt loads and making follow-up shots faster.
- Interchangeable Barrel Compatibility — Why it matters: You can swap barrels for different calibers (like 9mm or .22 LR) without buying a new gun, saving money and expanding your carry options.
- Patented Rebounding Hammer & Retracting Firing Pins — Why it matters: These safety features prevent accidental discharge if the gun is dropped, a critical consideration for apartment dwellers keeping a loaded derringer in a nightstand or holster.
- Black Flag Black Driving Holster Included — Why it matters: This holster is designed for vehicle carry—mounts securely near the steering column or center console—so you can access it while seated without printing.
Who It’s For
This derringer is built for city CCW holders who want a deep-concealment backup gun or primary carry in a pocket, ankle holster, or vehicle. If you live in an apartment and need a gun that fits in a small safe or drawer but still packs .410 buckshot for close-range defense, the Old Glory delivers. It’s also ideal for shooters who want a reliable, American-made backup to their Glock or Sig.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ultra-compact size (fits in a jeans pocket); .410 shotshell offers spread at close range; all stainless steel construction; easy to clean with automatic extractor.
- Cons: Only 2 rounds—you must practice reloads under stress; grip is thick for a pocket gun (0.9 inches wide); .410 slugs have limited velocity compared to 9mm.

FAQ
Is the Bond Arms Old Glory compatible with other Bond Arms barrels?
Yes, per Bond Arms specs, this model accepts all standard interchangeable barrels in calibers like .22 LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. You can swap barrels without tools.
Can I use .410 shotshells for self-defense?
Yes—.410 buckshot (like #4 or #00 buck) delivers a spread pattern that improves hit probability at close range (under 10 yards). Just know that .410 slugs have less energy than .45 Colt, so pick your load based on your threat distance.
Does the Black Flag Black Driving Holster fit other Bond Arms models?
The holster is designed for the Old Glory’s 3.5-inch barrel and grip profile. It may fit other Bond Arms derringers with similar dimensions, but confirm with Bond Arms’ compatibility chart before use.
How do I clean the Cerakote finish without damaging the flag graphic?
Use a microfiber cloth and mild gun solvent (like Ballistol). Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals—Cerakote is durable, but the graphic layer is thin. Wipe gently.
Is this gun legal in my state? (California, New York, etc.)
Check your local laws—derringers with barrels under 3 inches may be restricted in some states. Bond Arms ships to all 50 states, but you must comply with state and local regulations.
