The Bond Arms BATX Texan Derringer delivers reliable dual-caliber performance in a compact stainless steel package. This Texas-themed variant combines the versatility of .45 Colt and .410 bore ammunition with premium construction and distinctive custom engraving.
What Makes This Different
The BATX Texan stands apart from standard derringers through its extended 6-inch barrel length, providing improved accuracy and velocity over compact models. The dual-caliber capability eliminates the need for barrel changes when switching between .45 Colt cartridges and .410 shotshells. Stainless steel construction throughout the barrel and frame ensures corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding conditions.
Key Features
- Dual caliber compatibility: .45 Colt (LC) and .410 gauge shotshells
- 6-inch stainless steel barrel for enhanced accuracy and velocity
- Stainless steel frame construction resists corrosion and wear
- Custom engraved rosewood grips with Texas-themed detailing
- Blade front sight paired with fixed rear sight for quick target acquisition
- Manual safety mechanism for secure carry and storage

The extended barrel length significantly improves ballistic performance compared to shorter derringers, delivering higher velocities and flatter trajectories. This configuration proves effective for small game hunting with .410 shotshells or personal defense applications with .45 Colt ammunition. The stainless steel construction maintains consistent performance in humid or coastal environments where carbon steel firearms may corrode.
