Key Features
- Dual Caliber Chambers – Why it matters: You can load .45 LC for deep penetration or .410 birdshot for snakes and pests, giving you two guns in one compact package.
- Stainless Steel Construction – Why it matters: This frame and barrel set resists rust and corrosion, so it holds up to sweat, rain, and repeated range trips without pitting.
- Extended Black Ash Grips – Why it matters: The longer grip gives you better control and a more natural point of aim than standard derringers, especially with .410 recoil.
- Spade Accent Above Hinge – Why it matters: It’s a distinctive look that sets the Black Jack apart from other Bond Arms models, making it a conversation piece at the range or in the safe.
- Cross-Bolt Safety – Why it matters: A manual safety gives you an extra layer of security when carrying or storing the derringer, especially for newer shooters.
Who It’s For
The Black Jack is for anyone who wants a backup gun that disappears in a pocket or waistband. It fits new gun owners who want a simple, no-fuss firearm for personal defense or plinking. Collectors will appreciate the spade accent and classic derringer profile. Hunters and hikers can use it as a snake gun with .410 shells.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Compact and lightweight (21 oz), dual-caliber flexibility, stainless steel durability, easy to clean, manual safety for peace of mind.
- Cons: Only two shots before reloading, and the trigger pull is heavy (around 8-10 lbs) which takes practice to shoot accurately.

FAQ
What .410 shells can I use in the Bond Arms Black Jack?
You can fire 2.5″ .410 shells. Stick with birdshot for small game or snakes, but avoid 3″ magnum shells—the chamber is not rated for them.
Is the Bond Arms Black Jack safe for concealed carry?
Yes, it’s small enough for pocket or ankle carry. The cross-bolt safety and heavy trigger help prevent accidental discharge. Use a quality holster that covers the trigger.
How do I clean the stainless steel frame?
Use a standard gun cleaner and a soft brush. Stainless steel resists rust, but wipe it down after each range session to keep the finish looking new.
Does the Black Jack come with a warranty?
Bond Arms offers a limited lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects. Check their website or contact us for details on coverage.
