Granbury, TX (July 5, 2022) – Bond Arms is well-known for its compact, yet powerful, personal protection pistols. After years of research and development, the Bond Arms team released the Stinger – its lightest, smallest derringer ever. It has the familiar fit, feel, function, and reliability of other Bond double-barrelled pistols in an ultra-concealable and super-comfortable size and weight configuration. The Stinger is currently chambered for either 9mm or .380 auto. It’s made from advanced modern materials and engineered for durability.
The Stinger uses a slim, aluminum frame that is precision milled from a billet of 7075 aluminum, known industry-wide for toughness. A black hard-coat anodized finish further shields the frame in use. A generously sized, integral trigger guard protects the trigger, yet allows easy access. Slim, high-impact, Zytel, composite grips pair with the wasp-waisted pistol’s narrow profile, making it perfect for concealability. The Stinger also includes standard-sized, rubber grip panels for those who prefer a larger grip.
A stainless steel firing pin block inset into the aluminum frame strengthens the receiver and allows for the firing of +P rounds. The release lever, cross-bolt safety, hammer, and trigger are also stainless steel; adding steel parts in these critical areas enhances the Stinger’s durability. The Stinger’s 3-inch barrels match the frame’s narrow 0.55-inch profile and is available in 9mm and .380 auto, with a .22 long rifle model on the horizon.
At the recent 2022 NRA Meetings & Exhibits, Bond Arms debuted a stainless steel version of the Stinger: the Stinger RS. This slim and sleek rendition of the Stinger comes with all the original functionality, a reliable frame, and a friendly price point. This new edition is available from Bond Arms starting June 20th.
Bond Arms created the Stinger for customers wanting a lightweight, slim pistol chambered for powerful, defense rounds. Like all of Bond’s complete pistol lines, the Stinger is safe, durable, and reliable – perfect for self-defense.
