FAQ
Is the Bond Arms Stinger safe to carry with a round in the chamber?
Yes, the crossbolt safety blocks the hammer from contacting the firing pin when engaged. Keep the safety on until you're ready to fire. Always follow safe handling practices.
Can I shoot .22 Short or .22 Long in the Stinger?
No, the Stinger is chambered specifically for .22 Long Rifle. Using other .22 caliber cartridges can cause cycling issues or damage. Stick with .22 LR for reliable performance.
How do I clean the stainless barrels on this derringer?
Use a standard .22 caliber cleaning rod with a brass brush and solvent. Wipe the barrels clean after each range session, especially if you shoot lead rounds. The stainless finish resists corrosion but still needs regular care.
What holster works best for the Bond Arms Stinger?
Any pocket holster designed for small derringers or a dedicated Bond Arms Stinger holster works well. Look for one that covers the trigger guard and keeps the safety accessible. Ankle holsters are also popular for deep concealment.
Is this a good first gun for a new shooter?
Yes, the .22 LR has very mild recoil, and the single-action trigger is straightforward. The low capacity means you'll focus on accuracy. It's a great trainer for learning fundamentals.
