Bond Arms Grizzly: New .45 LC Double-Barrel Pistol Joins 'Rough Series'

Bond Arms just added a new pistol to its affordable personal protection option for budget-conscious consumers. The Rough Series trims down on finishing processes, yet maintains features. The double-barrel guns offer no-nonsense handguns without any extra frills. The line now includes the Grizzly.

Bond Arms Rough Series

The Rough Series guns include the Roughneck, Rowdy and the Grizzly. Each gun undergoes a quick clean up and deburring to knock off sharp edges, according to Bond Arms. Gunsmiths then bead blast each gun, giving a rough finish. The parting lines in the metal frame and trigger guard add unique marks. Swirly tool marks and casting imperfections certainly make the guns memorable. But the reduced labor cost translates into huge savings for customers.

Each Rough Series gun includes stainless steel barrels and frames. A cross-bolt safety, retracting firing pin, spring-loaded cam-lock lever and rebounding hammer come standard. Rough Series guns use the same grade of stainless steel as all production guns, according to Bond Arms.

The Roughneck provides a completely new type of gun for Bond Arms. It features a 2.5-inch barrel, chambered in 9mm, .357/38 or .45 ACP. It utilizes a blade front sight and fixed rear sight. The compact handgun comes with a textured rubber grip. the Roughneck works best with smooth-lined holsters.

At 5 inches long, the Rowdy is the big brother of the line. It comes chambered in .45 Long Colt and 2 1/2-inch .410 bore. A blade front sight and fixed rear sight mount directly to its 3-inch barrels.

The Grizzly features several upgrades from its Rowdy cousin. It wears rosewood grips engraved with grizzly bear artwork, along with the Bond Arms name and a checkered panel. The pistol includes a matching leather holster embossed with a grizzly bear. Its 3-inch barrels come chambered in .45 Long Colt and 2 1/2-inch .410 bore.
