Admittedly, this is likely to be a paperweight and conversation piece.
But, the cool factor was too high not to own one.
When Bond Arms announced these, they'd said the 454 Casull would be manufactured. I doubt we'll ever see that. I don't believe the gun would hold the pressure.
But, this one is different. A big bullet moving slow still packs a punch.

Polish the roll marks off the barrel and I’d take one

I'm not sure what this gun could be useful for. But, I would want to get shot with it either.
Every once and a while, it's fun to get a toy.
I like the 50s and just figured one would fit into the safe...

A 50 GI in that would be cool…

Probably, but I expect they'll stay with mainstream cartridges.
Right now, it's 45-70, 44 Magnum and 50 AE...

This thing is unusually well made for a pocket gun.
Chamber is only .002" larger than my IMI Brass. The head of the brass protrudes .003" out of the chamber. So, definitely not chambered too deep.
Barrel slugged an even .500" with very wide lands.
The rebated rimless design is a huge benefit over the rimmed where extraction is concerned.
There's plenty of powders that'll produce good reduced ballistics.
I'll eventually get some good loads worked up. But, might wait on cooler weather...

This sounds like a fun toy. I personally would try some Trailboss or even 26gr of 4227 with a mag primer. That is with the FMJ 325gr that's recommended. I realize that 26 is lower that the hodgdon start load but it works. Of course you know not to do that with H110. You might even check with someone who has Qload for a load using Bullseye or Unique or even Green Dot for maybe a better quick burn with that short barrel. I do recall some guy here suggested being a hand loader and not just a Reloader. I think you can have fun with this
