Features
The automatic spent casing extractor ejects brass when the barrel is opened, simplifying the two-round reload. The patented rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins prevent discharge unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, adding a margin of safety for carry. A cross-bolt safety and spring-loaded locking lever further secure the action.
The Snake Slayer IV is compatible with standard Bond Arms barrels, so the same frame can be reconfigured for different calibers by swapping the barrel. The extended rosewood grip provides more surface area than the standard grip, which helps manage the .357 Magnum's recoil in the small frame.

What Reviewers Say
Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.
It's it's tough to manipulate if you're not if you don't have some Stout hands.
It's hard for me to stay on target with this gun at any kind of decent range.
Heavy you only got two shots and the trigger pull is heavy so this is not my first or second or third choice or even 10th choice for a defensive firearm.
Other downside is the sights there's just not a lot of contrast.
There's drawbacks there's good there's bad to this um I like it for a camp gun and a utility gun and a tool I do not like it for an EDC piece or a carry piece or defensive use.
Customers Say
AI-generated insights derived from customer reviews and discussions on popular gun-enthusiast forums.
The Snake Slayer IV in .357 Magnum draws buyers who want a pocket-able gun that can fire full-power magnum rounds.
Build quality is the most consistent praise. The stainless steel frame feels solid, and Bond Arms' machining is well-regarded. The caliber versatility (.357 Mag and .38 SPL) is a practical draw, and the barrel-swap system for other calibers is appreciated by owners who want one frame for multiple uses. Accuracy at close range gets positive marks for a derringer design.
Recoil from the .357 Magnum in a 23.5-oz gun is the most common concern. Most owners find it manageable but describe it as sharp, and .38 SPL loads are recommended for extended range sessions. The two-round capacity draws the most criticism as a defensive limitation. Price is occasionally mentioned as high compared to small revolvers with similar calibers but greater capacity.
