Granbury, TX (January 24, 2024) – In 2022, Bond Arms® released the original Cyclops, a single-shot derringer chambered in 45/70. Last year, the Cyclops was rereleased in .44 magnum to fill a gap in caliber needs and offer what customers have been asking for. This year, at 2024 SHOT Show, Bond Arms will continue the tradition as they introduce the 50 AE!
While not a lightweight gun, the Cyclops is a beast of a firearm capable of handling extreme pressures and cartridges. Comparatively light, the 28 oz gun is both concealable and effective. Unlike the traditional over/under staple, each Cyclops model is a single shot only. The lack of a secondary chambering adds weight to the pistol and mitigates some of the felt recoil.
Its caliber model comes with an extended and proprietary B6 resin grip. These B6 grips are ergonomic and relatively easy to shoot. Incorporated sights are no different than most Bond Arms’ options and are fixed to the frame and barrel. As with all other models, the barrels of the Cyclops can be swapped for those of different calibers. This expands potential caliber usage and availability without requiring a new pistol purchase. The Cyclops frame will not fit all standard barrels available due to only having one firing pin rather than two.
As a backup pistol, the 6.75-inch overall length and 4.25-inch long stainless steel barrel come paired with a 7 lb trigger. Satin finish options are available for all three calibers, along with a black leather Cyclops holster. Continue the tradition of innovation by bonding with the one-eyed beast that is the Cyclops.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer – the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.
