It’s known that firearms can serve for a long time after they’re no longer cutting edge. Flintlocks held on long into the percussion era. During the American Civil War, plenty of cavalry units, especially local militias, turned up with single-shot pistols despite Colt’s revolvers having been on the market for a while by then.
This year Bond Arms is celebrating its 25th anniversary and now builds dozens of different double-barrel handgun models, 40 interchangeable barrels and the Bond Bullpup9, an innovative self-defense semi-automatic chambered in 9 mm.
It might be small, but don't count the NAA Pug out of a fight based on its size or chambering. It's a legitimate concealed-carry pistol for self-defense.
