Due to customer demand, Bond Arms is introducing an affordable version of the company's high-end, compact handguns. The new Rough Series handguns feature two models: the Roughneck and the Rough N Rowdy.
"The rough finish adds quite a cool factor to the Roughneck and the Rough N Rowdy," says Dylan Hunsucker, spokesman for Bond Arms. "We do minimal clean-up and deburr to ensure there are no sharp edges, and then we bead-blast the finish. There is no sanding and polishing of the frame, which takes enormous amounts of time and adds to the cost of our higher-end firearms. The final product is that you can see the parting lines in the frame and trigger guard as well as some of the tool marks on the barrels and casting imperfections in the frame. It gives each one its own unique rough-and-tumble look."
The Rough N Rowdy is chambered to use either .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410-bore shotshells, and the Roughneck is chambered in 9 mm. Both guns are single-action, double-barrel pistols and feature a stainless-steel finish, black rubber grips and fixed sights along with a push-button cross-bolt safety and rebounding hammer. The trigger guard is also removable, and interchangeable barrels are available for both models.
