Product Overview
The Bond Arms Rowdy XL Flag derringer is engineered for operators requiring significant versatility in a compact form factor.

Key Features
Caliber Versatility
The Rowdy XL Flag’s primary operational advantage is its dual-caliber capability. It accepts both .45 Long Colt ammunition and 2.5-inch .410 shotgun shells, providing the operator with a broad spectrum of projectile options. This adaptability optimizes the derringer for diverse scenarios, ranging from close-quarters personal defense with conventional handgun rounds to small game applications with appropriate shotshell loads.
Construction and Durability
This derringer integrates a robust 3.5-inch stainless steel barrel, meticulously machined to withstand rigorous use while maintaining a compact footprint. The barrel’s material composition contributes to ballistic consistency and resistance to environmental corrosion. The frame, also constructed from durable stainless steel, establishes a solid and resilient foundation for the firearm, ensuring long-term operational integrity and mitigating wear under demanding conditions.
Ergonomics and Handling
An integrated trigger guard is a core design element, providing a defined area for secure hand placement and contributing to safe manipulation during carry and deployment. This feature is crucial for maintaining control and operational readiness, particularly given the derringer’s compact dimensions.
Aesthetic and Grip
The Rowdy XL Flag features distinct patriotic flag-themed grips. Beyond their aesthetic contribution, these grips are designed to provide a secure and positive hold, enhancing the operator’s control and mitigating potential slippage during firing sequences.
