Owners of the Bond Arms First Lady most often mention the aesthetics first. The black Cerakote with rose gold highlights is a combination that generates strong opinions either way, but buyers who seek it out are generally very satisfied with how it looks in person.

As a .38 Special derringer, the First Lady is a practical carry option for those who want a compact, low-profile backup gun. The 3-inch barrel and B6 grips are appreciated for keeping the package shootable without adding bulk. Recoil management with .38 Special is considered manageable compared to larger calibers in the Bond Arms lineup.

The thumb safety and fixed sights are straightforward, and most owners consider them adequate for the platform's intended use. The single-action trigger requires a deliberate hammer cock, which some find reassuring as a safety measure and others find inconvenient. Engraving quality is consistently described as clean on production examples.
