Bond Arms Stubby .380 ACP Derringer Handguns 2.2" Barrel Silver

The Bond Arms Stubby .380 ACP derringer is a purpose-built backup gun for shooters who need maximum concealability without sacrificing stopping power. Built on a modified Stinger frame with a 2.2-inch barrel, the Stubby is one of the most compact centerfire options Bond Arms makes—measuring just 4.5 inches in overall length and tipping the scales at 13.3 ounces. Its single-action design and fixed sights keep things simple and reliable, exactly what you want in a last-resort firearm. Whether you're carrying it as a backup in the field, keeping it in a pack for emergencies, or adding it to your rotation as a deep-concealment option, the Stubby's slim profile and featherweight frame make it genuinely pocketable.

The Stubby's thin nylon grips and stripped-down architecture reflect its design philosophy: no frills, just effective self-defense in an incredibly small package. A 7-pound trigger pull is consistent and predictable, and the two-round .380 ACP capacity means you get meaningful stopping potential in a gun smaller than many single-stack 9mms. The silver finish over steel construction promises durability without added bulk, and the overall flatness of the design makes it a natural fit for ankle holsters, deep jacket pockets, or pack gear.

The .380 ACP round strikes a practical balance for a derringer: more capable than .22 LR, easier to shoot accurately than some larger centerfire options in a gun this size, and readily available at any ammunition counter. The Stubby fills a specific role in the Bond Arms lineup—when you absolutely need to go smaller, this is the ticket. It's not a primary carry gun; it's the firearm you hope you never need, but you're glad you had if the moment arrives.
