Bond Arms Roughneck single-action double-barrel 9mm pistol with stainless-steel finish and black rubber grips comes with fixed sights and the same quality push-button cross-bolt safety and rebounding hammer used in their higher-end models. The trigger guard is removable. Rough N Rowdy single-action double barrel pistol also features a stainless-steel finish, black rubber grips and fixed sights, push-button cross-bolt safety, rebounding hammer, and removable trigger guard. Comes chambered for .45 Colt and 2-1/2-inch .410 shells. Interchangeable barrels available for both models. By far the least expensive guns in the Bond Arms family yet manufactured with the same quality materials and components. The savings is possible because with the higher-end firearms, much of the cost comes from time spent sanding out swirly marks and rough areas left by the machining process and hiding seams where parts fit together, such as where the metal frame joins the trigger guard. Foregoing this not only cuts the price by hundreds, it also produces a strikingly utilitarian look. Roughneck MSRP $269; Rough N Rowdy $299. For more information contact: Bond Arms, Dept. FFG, P.O. Box 1296, Granbury, TX 76048; (817) 573-4445; www.bondarms.com
