Key Features
- Stainless Steel Frame — why it matters: resists rust and corrosion, so you can carry it in humid dove fields or sweaty pockets without worry.
- B6 Extended Synthetic Grips — why it matters: gives you a more secure hold than standard derringer grips, making follow-up shots quicker and more accurate.
- 3-Inch Barrel — why it matters: provides enough barrel length for decent velocity and accuracy at close range, while keeping the overall package small.
- 5.5-Inch Overall Length — why it matters: it disappears in a pocket or ankle holster, perfect for discreet carry when you’re bird hunting or just running to the feed store.
- 9mm Luger Chambering — why it matters: uses common, affordable ammunition that’s effective for personal defense and plinking.
Who It’s For
This little pistol is for the southern gentleman who wants a backup gun for dove hunts, a pocket pistol for everyday carry, or a compact self-defense tool that won’t print under a sport coat. It’s also a fine choice for collectors of traditional derringers who appreciate modern materials.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Durable stainless construction, comfortable extended grips, easy to conceal, reliable ignition. One honest drawback: the short barrel limits velocity and accuracy past 15 yards — it’s a close-quarters tool, not a target pistol.

Is the Bond Arms Honey-B reliable with hollow-point ammunition?

Yes. The B6 extended synthetic grips are removable and can be replaced with other Bond Arms grip options, such as rosewood or rubber, to suit your hand size or preference.
What holsters fit this pistol?
