Bond Arms Stinger .380 ACP Derringer

The Bond Arms Stinger: Serious Backup in a Pocket-Sized Package

The Stinger represents Bond Arms' commitment to delivering genuine defensive capability in the most compact form factor possible. This is a purpose-built backup gun for those who understand that sometimes the best firearm is the one you actually have with you.

Design and Construction

Bond Arms engineered the Stinger with a black anodized 7075-T6 aluminum frame paired to a stainless steel matte barrel. The result is a gun that weighs half what a standard Bond Arms derringer does while maintaining the same uncompromising build quality. At just 5 inches overall length, the Stinger disappears into a pocket, purse, or ankle holster.

Practical Features

• Capacity: Two rounds of .380 ACP
• Barrel: 3-inch stainless steel with matte finish
• Sights: Blade front and fixed rear—simple, reliable, and adequate for close-range defensive work
• Safety: Manual safety lever for secure carry
• Action: Rebounding hammer prevents accidental discharge
• Grip: Rubber grip provides positive control and reduces felt recoil

The Derringer Advantage

The derringer format offers distinct advantages for backup and deep-carry applications. With no slide to snag, no magazine to lose, and no manual of arms to remember under stress, the Stinger delivers straightforward, intuitive operation. The .380 ACP cartridge, while modest in power, remains a proven defensive round when shot placement is prioritized.

This is a gun for serious people who understand their limitations and plan accordingly.
