The Snake Slayer IV’s 4.25-inch octagonal barrel strikes a balance between concealability and increased sight radius. Bond Arms machines the barrel and frame from 17-4 PH stainless steel, delivering corrosion resistance and durability suited for heavy .410 loads.
Bond’s patented tip-up design with an automatic extractor simplifies loading and unloading, while the exposed hammer and crisp single-action trigger allow deliberate, precise firing. A cross-bolt safety and rebounding hammer add layered, intuitive safety features without slowing operation.
The extended rosewood grips provide a full-hand purchase, improving control when shooting stout defensive loads. A carved snake motif pays homage to the model’s name and offers additional texture.
Versatility is a hallmark of the Bond Arms system. This frame accepts over 35 optional barrel assemblies, letting the owner convert the Snake Slayer IV to a wide range of calibers in minutes.
