The Bond Arms Snake Slayer IV derringer chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special (brand part no. BASSIV357/38) is a break-action, single-action pistol that extends the standard Snake Slayer’s barrel length for a longer sight radius and steadier aim. Bond Arms builds this Snake Slayer IV with a 4.25-inch barrel and a 10.45-inch overall length, backed by fixed front blade and rear sights and a crossbolt manual safety.
