No experience with that company but I do have a 45/410 derringer and all I can say is....
I wouldn't put accuracy in a definition of the gun. You are lucky to keep 5 shots (45 colt) on a 24" target at 25 yards. The most accurate ammo to date is a 410 slug but it is still only accurate enough to be a "belly gun".
The barrel is so short that the 45 colt gets only 600 feet per second at the muzzle and the slug is faster.
The way I look at it is that if you can put it to an assailant's neck and pull the trigger you at the gun's optimum range.

DS,
Try this thread on The Firing Line site, it is all about the Bond. I doubt there is anyone on this site with much first hand knowledge of the Bond gun itself. This thread has a response by a Bond employee to questions or comments.
Best,
Ed

DS, Advise your friend to shoot one before buying it !!!
Paul's the man shooting it in 45LC !!! I've shot them in .38 special and don't think I'd want to shot the .45

It's a point blank, "last resort" shooter. Acurracy aint the issue IMO.
Safety and functionality/quality are.

DS,
I looked at a 45 Colt Bond this morning at Jimmy's gun shop. Man, it is big and it is heavy for a backup gun. Frankly I would rather have my little KelTec 380..
Best,
Ed
