Key Features
- Break-open action — WHY IT MATTERS: Quick and intuitive to load and unload, just like a classic single-shot, but with two rounds on tap.
- Rebounding hammer — WHY IT MATTERS: The hammer rests safely away from the firing pin, reducing accidental discharge risk if dropped or bumped.
- Manual cross-bolt safety — WHY IT MATTERS: Gives you positive engagement when holstered or carried in a pocket, adding an extra layer of security.
- Rubber grips — WHY IT MATTERS: Absorbs the snappy 9mm recoil and keeps the little Stinger planted in your hand, even with sweaty palms on a hot dove field.
- Compact 5-inch overall length — WHY IT MATTERS: Slides into a front pocket, ankle holster, or small-of-back rig without printing, making it a true deep-carry option.
Who It's For
This derringer is for the shooter who values simplicity and concealability over capacity. It's a perfect backup piece for a bird hunter carrying a shotgun afield, a pocket pistol for a gentleman who wants something smaller than a semi-auto, or a last-ditch defense tool for those times when a full-size just won't fit. If you appreciate old-school craftsmanship with modern materials, the Stinger belongs in your rotation.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at just over half a pound, easy to conceal, simple operation, rugged stainless and aluminum build, manual safety for peace of mind.
- Cons: Two-round capacity means you better make the first two count; the short sight radius and heavy trigger pull require practice to shoot accurately at distance.

FAQ
What is the barrel length on the Bond Arms Stinger?
Per the manufacturer, the Stinger's barrel is listed at 2.5 inches, though some sources show slight variations. The overall length of 5 inches is consistent across all listings.
Can I use +P ammunition in the Stinger?
Bond Arms recommends sticking with standard-pressure 9mm Luger loads. The lightweight aluminum frame and small grip make +P recoil stout and could accelerate wear over time.
How do I clean and maintain the Stinger?
Open the action, wipe down the barrel and chamber with a bore brush and solvent, then lightly oil the moving parts. The aluminum frame needs no special care beyond a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the rubber grips in solvent.
Is the Stinger legal to carry in all states?
Derringers are generally legal in most states, but always check your local laws regarding barrel length and capacity. The Stinger's 5-inch overall length may fall under certain restrictions in a few jurisdictions.
Does the Stinger come with a holster?
The Stinger ships with a pocket holster and a nylon belt pouch. For dedicated carry, many shooters prefer a custom leather cross-draw or ankle rig from makers like DeSantis or Galco.
