Granbury, TX (March 29, 2023)<\/strong> – Bond Arms\u00ae is well known for producing some of the best quality derringers in the North American market. Not only do their handguns come in a wide range of calibers, but they make a statement, and the manufacturing of these derringers is second to none. Built rugged, tough, and dependable, each of the offerings from Bond Arms\u00ae often surpasses consumer expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, Bond Arms\u00ae is exceeding expectations again. While derringers are often considered small rimfire calibers and expand into standard pistol calibers, including some magnum cartridges, they don\u2019t usually come chambered in a traditional rifle caliber. That is, until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announced at SHOT Show 2023, Bond Arms began production of a .45-70 derringer named the Cyclops. Coming in at 28 oz, the Cyclops is built stronger and more durable than ever. This 4.25 in. barrel is fitted into a single action frame and is only the first release in a new series of big bore derringers slated to be released in 50 AE, 454 casull, and 44 magnum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This model does vary from other pistol options from Bond Arms. Unlike the traditional over\/under staple, the Cyclops is a single shot only. The lack of a secondary chambering adds additional weight to the pistol and mitigates some felt recoil in a cartridge as large as the .45-70. It comes with an extended and proprietary B6 resin grip. Changes have been made to the grip to make it more ergonomic and easier to shoot. These sights are no different than most Bond Arms\u2019 options and fixed to the frame and barrel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cyclops comes in at a mesmerizing 6.75 in. overall and a hefty 7 lb trigger pull. This handgun is a TON of fun to shoot. So, if someone wants to make a statement at the range, the Cyclops is the perfect derringer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the Bond Arms\u00ae barrels can be swapped to various frames. The Cyclops frame will not be compatible with the Hand Cannon, Stinger, or Stinger RS barrels. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
