Description
The Bond Arms Girl Stinger 380 ACP (BASL-BG-380ACP) is a two-shot, single-action derringer with a 3 inch stainless steel barrel on a 7075 anodized aluminum Stinger frame, finished with pink wood “Bond Arms Girl” grips. Bond Arms introduced it for 2025 as its lightest handgun and now lists it as no longer in production.
Bond Arms Girl Stinger 380 ACP Overview
Bond lists the Girl Stinger at just 12 ounces, 5 inches long and 4 inches tall, with a frame only .88 inch thick. It has a trigger guard, a rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins and a cross-bolt safety, and Bond rates the trigger at about 7 pounds. Because it is discontinued, this is remaining distributor stock rather than a current catalog item.
Lightest Bond Arms
At 12 ounces the Girl Stinger is lighter than any other Bond model. The flat aluminum frame disappears in a pocket or small purse. The tradeoff is that a light gun moves more under recoil, even in .380 ACP.
Pink Wood Grips
The pink wood grips carry the Bond Arms Girl logo and give the gun a distinctive look. They are the standard-size Stinger grip, shorter than the extended B6, so your little finger may hang off the bottom. Practice a firm, high grip.
Operation and Safety
Like every Bond derringer, it is single action: cock the hammer for each shot. The cross-bolt safety blocks the hammer, and the retracting firing pins and rebounding hammer add protection when carried. Learn to cock the hammer smoothly with your thumb before relying on it.
Ammunition
.380 ACP is widely available and mild in a full-size pistol, but in a 12 ounce derringer it is snappy. Standard FMJ loads work for practice, and many owners carry quality hollow points. Bond notes that Stinger frames do not accept original Bond barrels or Stinger RS barrels.
Carry Realities
Two rounds and a slow reload make the Girl Stinger a backup or deep-concealment choice rather than a primary defensive handgun. Use a pocket holster or purse holster that covers the trigger guard, and never carry it loose in a bag.
Holsters and Accessories
Bond Arms sells its own Sof-Tuck and driving holsters sized for the Stinger frame, and several pocket holster makers cut patterns for it. Spare barrels in other calibers exist for Stinger frames, but Bond notes they are not interchangeable with its larger-frame derringers. Dry-fire only with snap caps, since derringer firing pins strike close to the chamber edge.
State Laws and Ownership
Handgun purchase rules vary by state. Some states require permits, safety certificates or rosters that may not include this model, and carry laws differ widely. Check your local law, and ask your receiving FFL to confirm the transfer before ordering.
