Features 

The patented rebounding hammer prevents accidental discharge if the hammer is struck or dropped. An automatic spent casing extractor removes cases when the action is opened. Retracting firing pins add another layer of passive safety. A cross-bolt safety is also included, and a spring-loaded cammed locking lever locks the barrel tightly at close. 
 
The stainless finish handles moisture well and requires minimal maintenance. The 2-round capacity and compact barrel keep it small and easy to pocket. 
 

Best Fit 

The Rawhide is aimed at collectors who want the Bond Arms cowboy aesthetic in .22 LR, casual range shooters, and people looking for a low-cost introductory pistol. The 2-round limit makes it a poor choice for self-defense. Grip ergonomics are basic given the compact size.

The Bond Arms Rawhide draws interest mainly from collectors and casual shooters who appreciate the cowboy-style frame and the novelty of a .22 LR break-open derringer. The stainless construction gets consistent positive comments for durability and appearance.

The single-shot (2-round) capacity is the most common limitation noted in discussions. Most owners acknowledge it upfront, but it comes up as a practical drawback for anyone considering it for defense — which most reviewers actively advise against.

The break-open mechanism is simple and the safety features are well-regarded. Accuracy with .22 LR at short distances is reported as adequate for plinking. Grip comfort varies; some owners find the compact frame comfortable enough, others less so during longer sessions.

Overall, owners who bought it knowing what it is tend to be satisfied. It's a niche gun with a specific appeal — primarily collector value and casual use — and most feedback reflects that framing.
