Bond Arms Stinger 380 ACP Black Overview
Bond Arms builds its derringers in Granbury, Texas, from stainless steel. They are simple, strong and compact, and they are popular as backup guns, trail guns and collector pieces. The Stinger is the lightest Bond Arms pistol, with half the weight of the steel framed models and a slimmer profile for deep concealment.
Light and Slim
With a 7075 aluminum frame, the Stinger weighs about 12 ounces, roughly half as much as a steel framed Bond Arms derringer. Bond Arms lists it at about .88 inch wide with the thin polymer grips, so it disappears in a pocket holster.
Two Barrels
The Stinger has two stacked 3 inch barrels and fires one round from each. Stinger barrels are made for this frame only, and Bond Arms notes they do not fit the original hand cannon or Stinger RS frames.
Safety and Action
Bond Arms pistols are single action, so you cock the hammer for each shot. A cross-bolt safety and a rebounding hammer add security. Bond Arms warns owners never to carry its handguns cocked and locked, so carry with the hammer down and follow the owner manual.
Grip and Frame
Bond Arms ships the Stinger with standard rubber grips and a slimmer set of polymer grips, so you can choose a fuller hold for the range or the thinnest profile for carry. The black anodized frame pairs with a matte stainless barrel.
Choosing Ammunition
This pistol fires .380 ACP, one of the mildest centerfire defensive cartridges, which makes it comfortable in a small two shot pistol. Choose a quality hollow point for carry and practice with the same weight bullet.
Carry
A derringer carries well in a pocket or belt holster made for Bond Arms frames. Practice drawing, cocking and firing with an unloaded gun until it becomes second nature.
Cleaning and Care
Stainless steel resists rust, but clean both bores after each range trip, especially after shooting lead bullets or shot shells. Wipe the frame with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
State Laws
Some states and cities restrict handgun purchases or limit which models can be sold. Check your state and local laws before you order. Pennsylvania buyers can transfer at our Collegeville shop or at any FFL.

Before You Buy
Federal law requires this handgun to ship to a licensed FFL dealer, and buyers must be 21 or older to purchase a handgun from a dealer. Bond Arms does not sell the Stinger in California or Massachusetts. Light pistols kick more than heavy ones, so expect more felt recoil than from a steel framed derringer of the same caliber.
Who It Is For
The Bond Arms Stinger 380 ACP Black is a great fit for shooters who want the lightest, slimmest Bond Arms derringer for pocket or deep concealment carry.
