I wonder what he expected.This guy shoots one three times and was not pleased.
Here's a gel/chrono test:

Silly and built like a tank!Since it would be a just because gun - with nods to Paladin and Yancy Derringer I would go for smallest - just Stubby. Actually, if I bought a stubby it would be in 380. I acknowledge fully that is not a gun I would recommend for EDC but sometimes you want something silly.
An elephant is a mouse designed by a bipartisan government committee. The Bonds May have been also.Silly and built like a tank!
So you want a 4.25" barrel .22LR. Well that is a nice idea. Suggest it to Bond. I understand if they hear enough suggestions they might do it.I've never thought much about a derringer, but if they made the Ranger II in .22WMR, I might pick one up.
Disclaimer: I am a total, unabashed Bond Arms fanboy!
Now, having said that, I see no practical use for the cyclops in 45-70, .460 S&W, 500 S&W, or .44 mag…
Easiest way to get a .45Colt/.410 barrel is buy a Rough Series. The Rowdy comes with a 3" barrel, but the Rowdy XL for about $50 more is a much better deal with an extended grip and a 3.5" barrel. Or if you want to go with the Grizzly, about $75 more than the base Rowdy, you get wood extended grips and a holster with it.I do not know what Bond models are what, but I would not mind a 3” or 4” barrel would be good.
Bird shot loads would be handy for snake and mouse/rat opponents.
I have several different barrels for my Bond Arms. Short of belly shots, the trigger is not great for even short range shooting.
I already have a 4-1/4" 45 Colt/.410 barrel for my Bond.Easiest way to get a .45Colt/.410 barrel is buy a Rough Series.

Yep, that's what they told me too. And when I asked them if one could try out the .22 barrel on other frames they said, "We don't recommend putting the 22lr barrel on other gun frames. It will not function properly."BTW, I confirmed with Bond that if you get a Rawhide .22 LR that any center-fire barrel may be used on the Rawhide frame just as with any other (non-stinger) frame though the .22 barrel should be used only on the frame it came on. The .22 barrel is tuned/matched to the frame, not the other way around.
Better safe than sorry. I will keep the .22 barrel on the .22's frame.I imagine the most likely issue would be that the firing pin may not hit the case rim exactly right. There's not much room for error with .22 rimfire.
My guess is that the pivot on the .22 barrels is cast slightly oversize and then hand fitted to position it exactly in the frame and eliminate play.
Using the barrel on a different frame could possibly damage the firing pin if the strike were so far off that it struck the barrel itself but that seems unlikely.
