Compact carry firearms are about tradeoffs: weight, concealability, and controllability. For shooters who want a pocketable option with more punch than a .22 LR but without bulk, this platform delivers a purposeful balance of lightweight carry and manageable power.

BOND ARMS STINGER FIREBALL is springboarding from the overwhelming popularity and demand for a new grip—matching the B6 resin grip onto a super-flat, super-light anodized aluminum Stinger frame. Chambered in .22 Magnum and tipping the scales at just 14.4 oz, the Fireball blends light weight and meaningful ballistic performance in a tight package. Shop this product

Design and construction

The Fireball pairs an anodized aluminum Stinger frame with an extended B6 resin grip for added purchase in a small form factor. Its 3″ barrel and fixed sights keep the profile low while maintaining adequate sight radius for point-and-shoot defensive work or precision at the range. At 5.5″ overall length and 4.19″ height, the package is intentionally compact for concealed carry. The single-action trigger has a measured 7 lb pull and a protective trigger guard for safe handling.

Performance and caliber considerations

.22 Magnum (22 WMR) offers a step up from .22 LR in velocity and terminal energy while still keeping recoil minimal. For close-quarters defense and pest control, the caliber provides usable stopping power in a highly portable platform. With a two-round capacity, the Fireball is best considered a dedicated backup or deep-conceal carry piece where every ounce and inch matters.

Why the Bond Arms platform stands out

Bond Arms has a reputation for compact, robust designs and the Stinger frame underscores that with a focus on weight savings. The extended B6 grip improves control compared to traditional miniature grips, which helps when firing .22 Magnum out of a short barrel. The aluminum frame keeps carry comfortable without sacrificing durability.

Practical considerations for buyers

At a price of $391.99, the Fireball represents a niche option for shooters prioritizing ultralight carry with more energy than a .22 LR. Its two-shot capacity and single-action design make training and familiarity essential—dry-fire work and short-range practice will build the skills needed to use it effectively. Fixed sights and a 3″ barrel create a simple, low-maintenance package.
