The Bond Arms Patriot delivers dual-caliber versatility in a compact stainless steel frame, chambered for both 45 Colt and 410 gauge shotshells. This over/under derringer provides reliable backup firepower with premium rosewood grips and American-made construction.
What Makes This Different
Unlike single-caliber pocket pistols, the Patriot accepts both 45 Long Colt cartridges and 410 gauge shotshells without modification. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued alternatives, while the 3-inch barrel length optimizes velocity for defensive loads. Bond Arms' proprietary trigger guard release system allows faster reloading compared to traditional break-action designs.

The Patriot excels as a backup gun for hunters pursuing dangerous game, where 410 shotshells loaded with buckshot provide close-range stopping power. Law enforcement officers appreciate the concealability for off-duty carry, while the 45 Colt option delivers proven terminal performance. The stainless finish maintains appearance through daily carry conditions and humid environments.
