Key Features

• Break-Open Action with Cross-Bolt Safety – This gives you a positive lock-up and a manual safety you can engage with your thumb. Why it matters: You get fast reloads and an extra layer of security when carrying chambered.
• American Flag Cerakote Finish – The barrel and frame are coated in a durable, corrosion-resistant Cerakote that won’t fade or chip under daily carry. Why it matters: It protects the stainless steel and keeps the flag pattern looking sharp for years.
• Extended Black Ash Grips with Flag Engraving – These grips add length for a more secure hold and feature a laser-engraved American flag. Why it matters: Better control and a custom look that matches the patriotic theme.
• Interchangeable Barrel System – You can swap barrels in seconds to change calibers or barrel lengths. Why it matters: One frame covers multiple uses—from .45 ACP defense to .22 LR plinking.
• Blade Front Sight with Fixed Rear – A simple, snag-free sight setup that gives you a clear reference point. Why it matters: No adjustments needed, and it won’t catch on holsters or clothing.

Who It’s For

This derringer fits the shooter who wants a backup gun that doubles as a conversation piece. It’s for concealed carriers who value a small footprint and stainless durability, collectors who appreciate American-themed finishes, and anyone who prefers a break-open action over a semi-auto or revolver.

FAQ

What calibers can I use with the Bond Arms Old Glory?

It accepts Bond Arms standard interchangeable barrels in calibers like .45 ACP, .410 bore, .357 Magnum, .38 Special, 9mm, and .22 LR. The barrel swap takes seconds with the included hex wrench.

Is the Cerakote finish durable for daily carry?

Yes, Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that resists corrosion, scratches, and UV fading. Per Bond Arms specs, it’s applied over stainless steel, so the base metal is already corrosion-resistant. Expect some edge wear after extended holster use, but the finish holds up well.

Can I carry this derringer cocked and locked?

The cross-bolt safety blocks the hammer when engaged. You can carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber and the safety off, or with the hammer cocked and the safety on. Most shooters prefer the latter for a faster draw.

How does the Old Glory compare to the standard Bond Arms Roughneck?

The Roughneck has a matte stainless finish and no engraving. The Old Glory adds the Cerakote flag pattern and engraved grips. Both use the same barrel system and action. The Old Glory costs more due to the custom finish.

Does it fit standard Bond Arms holsters?

Yes, the Old Glory uses the same frame dimensions as other Bond Arms derringers, so it fits any holster designed for the standard 3.5″ barrel model. Check the holster’s barrel length compatibility.
