Bond Arms Texas Defender 357 Overview
The Bond Arms Texas Defender 357 is a compact, break-action pistol chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special. Its over-and-under configuration contains two separate chambers, giving the firearm a total capacity of two rounds.
The Bond Arms Texas Defender 357 Pistol combines a stainless-steel frame and double barrel with standard-size rosewood grips. The model’s 3-inch barrel places it between shorter 2.5-inch Bond Arms configurations and longer models such as the 4.25-inch Ranger II.
Stainless-Steel Construction
The Texas Defender’s principal frame and barrel components are manufactured from stainless steel. The complete pistol measures approximately five inches long and 3.75 inches high, with an unloaded weight of around 20 ounces.
Its standard rosewood grips give the model a traditional appearance. Natural variations in wood mean that the grain pattern and color can differ slightly between individual grip panels.
A front blade and fixed rear sight make up the basic sighting system. The pistol also includes a trigger guard, distinguishing it from the similar Cowboy Defender, which does not have one.
Single-Action Mechanism
The Bond Arms Texas Defender 357 uses a single-action system with an external hammer. Bond Arms lists its trigger-pull weight at approximately seven pounds.
The manufacturer identifies several mechanical features, including a patented rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, cross-bolt safety and spring-loaded locking lever. An automatic extractor is also incorporated into this caliber configuration.
These features do not replace careful handling, secure storage or the safety procedures provided in the official owner’s manual.
