True. But a Kahr 45 would fit the bill. I'm not saying that carrying a Derringer is not carrying. Just that nowadays there are much more reasonable choices. All just opinion though.

Original post by Teuthis: The Bond Arms Snake Slayer is just that; potent defense against snakes. People are arguing about whether a powerful, two shot pistol is viable for self defense. Of course it is; against snakes and varmint;s and, up close, against an attacker. I think all you people who are having fantasies about multi-magazine shoot-outs with felons at 25 yards, are telling yourself fairy tales. Self defense, if you must ever do it, is going to be up close and over in a hurry. I have no problem with the Snake Slayer IV in any capacity.

True....but they can be two big gobstopper-type rounds like .44SPL, .45LC, .45ACP, or .410 buckshot....all in a nice, pocket-sized package....
Problem isn't just that there's only two of the rounds, but also that the rounds must be delivered from a gun that's more difficult than most any other to shoot accurately and more difficult than most any other to shoot quickly.
