Bond Arms "The First Lady" Limited Edition Handgun .38 Spl 2rd Capacity 3" Barrel Black Finish w/Engraving

The Bond Arms "The First Lady" Limited Edition is a compact .38 Special derringer built for shooters who value both aesthetics and function in a pocket-sized package. This commemorative handgun pairs striking engraved details with genuine stopping power, making it a conversation piece that's equally at home on the nightstand or in an ankle rig. With a 3" barrel and 2-round capacity, it's chambered in the proven .38 Special cartridge—manageable to shoot yet capable enough for defensive use and sport shooting alike.

Built on Bond Arms' Stinger aluminum frame (7075 aluminum construction), The First Lady delivers lightweight carry without sacrificing durability. The extended B6 resin grips provide the comfort and control you need during practice or defensive training, and the black anodized finish resists corrosion while keeping the engraving details sharp and visible. Single-action trigger mechanics keep the action clean and familiar to revolver shooters, while fixed sights mean no batteries, no electronics, and no excuses—just point and shoot.

This is a limited production run, so availability won't last. Whether you're a derringer enthusiast, a backup gun collector, or simply appreciate American-made craftsmanship and patriotic design, The First Lady deserves a look. Bond Arms has long been synonymous with reliability in the derringer space, and this commemorative edition proves that heritage doesn't mean compromise on performance.
