Bond Arms Stinger .22 LR, 3-inch Double Barrel Derringer

Description

The Bond Arms Stinger .22 LR, 3-inch Double Barrel Derringer is a lightweight, two-shot pocket pistol built for deep concealment and low-recoil training. It pairs a corrosion-resistant matte stainless steel barrel with an anodized aluminum frame, keeping weight down without sacrificing durability. The rebounding hammer, crossbolt safety, and retracting firing pins give you a margin of safety that matters when you carry a derringer. This isn’t a range toy—it’s a serious tool for backup carry or a first gun for new shooters who want something simple and reliable.

Key Features

• Rebounding Hammer & Crossbolt Safety – The hammer rests in a safe position after each shot, and the crossbolt blocks the trigger. Why it matters: You can carry the Stinger loaded without worrying about an accidental discharge, even in a pocket or purse.
• Retracting Firing Pins & Spent Shell Extractor – Firing pins retract when the hammer is down, and the extractor pops empties free. Why it matters: Reliable ignition and quick reloads—critical when you only have two shots.
• 3-Inch Double Matte Stainless Steel Barrel – Short enough for concealment but long enough for decent accuracy at self-defense distances. Why it matters: You get a balance of portability and shootability that most tiny .22s don’t deliver.
• Integrated Trigger Guard & Black Nylon Grips – The trigger guard protects the trigger from snagging, and the nylon grips offer a non-slip hold. Why it matters: Draws smoothly from a pocket and stays put in your hand, even with sweaty palms.

Who It’s For

This derringer fits three types of shooters: new shooters who want a simple, low-recoil handgun for learning fundamentals; experienced carriers looking for a backup gun that disappears in a pocket or ankle holster; and anyone who wants a reliable .22 LR for plinking or training without the bulk of a semi-auto.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Ultra-light at about 10.5 ounces; easy to conceal in any pocket; .22 LR is cheap to shoot; safety features make it carry-ready; stainless barrel resists rust.
• Cons: Only two shots—you need to make them count; single-action trigger requires manual cocking; grip is short for larger hands.

The Stinger is in a different category than Lone Wolf slides or Timney triggers—it’s a complete, ready-to-carry derringer, not an upgrade part. If you need a purpose-built backup gun, the Stinger wins on simplicity and weight.

FAQ

Is the Bond Arms Stinger safe to carry with a round in the chamber?

Yes. The rebounding hammer and crossbolt safety prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin until you manually cock it. With the safety engaged, the trigger cannot be pulled. Per Bond Arms, this design is intended for safe loaded carry. Always follow your local laws and training protocols.

How accurate is the 3-inch barrel at self-defense distances?

At 5 to 7 yards—the most likely self-defense range—the Stinger is combat-accurate. The 3-inch barrel gives you enough sight radius for consistent hits on a torso-sized target. It’s not a target pistol, but it will put rounds where you need them under stress.

Can I use high-velocity .22 LR ammo in this derringer?

Yes. The Stinger is built to handle standard and high-velocity .22 LR loads. Stick with reputable brands like CCI Mini-Mags or Federal AutoMatch for reliable ignition. Avoid hyper-velocity rounds, as they may cause excessive wear in a short barrel.

How do I clean the Stinger after shooting?

Field strip by removing the barrel pin, then clean the barrel and frame with a .22-caliber brush and solvent. Lubricate lightly on the hammer and pivot points. The stainless barrel resists fouling, but .22 LR is dirty—clean after every range session.
