The Bond Arms BARHR Rawhide delivers reliable stopping power in an ultra-compact package designed for concealed carry and backup applications. This stainless steel derringer chambered in .38 Special/.357 Magnum provides serious firepower when space and weight constraints eliminate other options.
What Makes This Different
The BARHR features Bond Arms' signature break-action design with automatic spent casing extraction and a rebounding hammer system for enhanced safety. Unlike traditional single-action derringers, this model incorporates a cross-bolt safety and uses interchangeable barrels, allowing caliber conversions across Bond Arms' extensive barrel lineup. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion while maintaining structural integrity under magnum pressures.
Key Features
- Dual caliber capability: fires both .38 Special and .357 Magnum cartridges
- 2.5-inch stainless steel barrel with 1:16 twist rate
- Black rubber grips provide secure hold in all weather conditions
- Automatic extraction system ejects spent cases upon opening
- Cross-bolt safety prevents accidental discharge

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy within 4 inches at 15 yards with quality ammunition. The .357 Magnum capability makes this derringer effective for hunting small game and provides serious defensive potential. Stainless steel construction withstands extended exposure to moisture and requires minimal maintenance. The compact 5-inch overall length disappears in ankle holsters or as a backup to primary carry weapons.
