Key Features
- Engraved Flat-Sided Barrel – The 4.25-inch barrel features decorative engraving that sets it apart from standard derringers, making it a conversation piece at the range or in the safe. Why it matters: You get a limited-edition look without losing the reliable function Bond Arms is known for.
- Extended B6 Resin Grips – These grips give you a fuller purchase on the frame, which helps control recoil from .45 Colt loads. Why it matters: Better control means faster follow-up shots and less fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
- Cross-Bolt Safety with Rebounding Hammer – A manual cross-bolt safety engages the rebounding hammer and retracting firing pin, preventing accidental discharge. Why it matters: You can carry this derringer with confidence, knowing it has three separate mechanical safeties.
- Includes Presidential Seal Holster – The package comes with a black leather holster embossed with a presidential seal, adding to the collectible value. Why it matters: You save the hassle of finding a custom holster, and the presentation is ready for display or carry.
Who It’s For
The DT47 is for collectors who want a limited-edition derringer with engraving and a matching holster, but it also works for shooters who need a compact backup gun for .45 Colt or .410. If you’re a new gun owner looking for a simple, single-action two-barrel design with manual safeties, this is a solid choice. It’s also a good fit for folks who appreciate American-made stainless steel construction and want a conversation piece that still shoots.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Limited-edition engraving adds collectible value; stainless steel resists corrosion; two calibers in one gun; included holster; three mechanical safeties.
- Cons: The 4.25-inch barrel makes it longer than most pocket derringers, so it’s best for belt or bag carry. The single-action trigger requires manual cocking, which takes practice for new shooters.

FAQ
What caliber does the Bond Arms DT47 shoot?
The DT47 is chambered for .45 Colt and .410 bore shotshells (2.5-inch shells). You can shoot either caliber from the same barrel, giving you versatility for self-defense or small game.
Is the DT47 safe to carry with a round in the chamber?
Yes. The cross-bolt safety, rebounding hammer, and retracting firing pin prevent the gun from firing unless the hammer is manually cocked and the trigger is pulled. That said, always follow standard safe handling practices.
Does the holster fit other Bond Arms models?
This holster is designed specifically for the DT47’s 4.25-inch barrel and frame shape. It may not fit shorter-barreled Bond Arms models like the Snake Slayer or Texas Defender.
How many DT47s were made?
Bond Arms has not publicly stated a production number, but this is a limited-edition run. Once they sell out, that’s it — so if you want one, I’d grab it now.
Can I use .410 buckshot in this derringer?
Yes, as long as the shell is 2.5 inches. .410 buckshot loads with #4 or #6 shot work fine for close-range defense. Pattern will be tight at 7 yards.
