Bond Arms Stubby .22LR Derringer Handguns 2.2" Barrel Silver - BASTB22LR

The Bond Arms Stubby .22LR derringer is a no-nonsense backup handgun built for deep concealment and last-resort carry. Chambered in .22LR, this single-action derringer delivers Bond Arms' signature compact reliability in the smallest package the company has yet produced. With a 2.2-inch barrel, overall length of 4.5 inches, and a featherweight profile around 13.3 ounces, the Stubby disappears into a pocket, ankle holster, or waistband without printing. It's the kind of gun you carry because you hope never to need it—and when space and weight matter, this one fits the mission.

Bond Arms engineered the Stubby on a modified Stinger frame, keeping the lines flat and the footprint minimal. The thin nylon grip panels sit flush and slim, with no trigger guard to snag on fabric during deployment. Fixed sights keep things simple and reliable, while the single-action trigger breaks at a clean 7-pound pull. Two .22LR rounds won't win a firefight, but they're legally and practically defensible in scenarios where a larger firearm simply won't fit your carry method—and a .22 in the hand beats nothing in the holster.

This is a specialist's tool: backup, deep-cover, or last-resort carry for folks who've already committed to a primary firearm elsewhere. Hunters, outdoorspeople, and shooters who value redundancy and ultra-compact carry recognize the value of a Bond Arms derringer in the rotation. Silver finish, proven American steel, and straightforward single-action simplicity add up to a derringer that works when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Stubby designed for—is this a primary carry gun or backup?

The Stubby shines as a deep-concealment backup or last-resort carry for shooters who already run a primary firearm. Its ultra-compact size makes it ideal for situations where normal carry guns won't fit—ankle holsters, pocket rigs, or off-body carry where weight and bulk matter most. Many outdoorspeople also keep one as a truck gun or camp backup.

How reliable is a .22LR in a derringer for self-defense?

A .22LR is not a primary defense round, and we won't pretend otherwise. The Stubby's real value is as a gun you'll actually carry when nothing else fits, rather than no gun at all. Shot placement and the willingness to act matter far more at derringer ranges. Treat it as a specialist tool, not a primary carry piece.

Can I swap barrels or change calibers on the Stubby?

We can only confirm the specifications for the .22LR model listed here. For questions about interchangeable barrels or other caliber availability in the Bond Arms Stubby line, contact Bond Arms directly—that's outside the scope of what we know about this particular gun.

What comes in the box, and what holster options fit?

We don't have details on what's included with this specific model. For accessory and holster fit questions, reach out to us or Bond Arms—the Stubby's compact dimensions will limit you to specialty deep-concealment rigs, but options do exist.
