This 6-time CASS (Cowboy Action Shooting Society) world champion was originally organized under the name Texas Armory. The company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 and was licensed by the BATF as a firearms manufacturer and dealer.
The Texas Defender has a trigger guard which is removable. The Cowboy does not have a trigger guard and was designed for the cowboy action shooting sports because it resembles the 1860's Remington style derringer. The Century 2000 Defender will accept any of the other caliber barrels that Bond Arms makes. Because of the interchangeable barrel system, a Century 2000 barrel can be put on the Texas or Cowboy Defenders.
