Bond Arms Snake Slayer
Know what Mom doesn't expect, but would probably love? A derringer. Better yet, a Bond Arms Snake slayer, which is designed specifically for snake and pest control around the farm, ranch, or on the trail, particularly when loaded with snake shot or rat shot. But that is not all it can shoot. Compact and powerful, the Snake Slayer is available chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special, as well as a dual-caliber option accommodating both .45 Colt and .410 shotshells. Built for adaptability, the platform allows users to easily swap barrels, with additional caliber options available from Bond Arms, including .22 caliber. Only downside, is she won't be able to use her Staccato 9mm Range ammo in it. For more information, visit bondarms.com. MSR: $603
