For shooters seeking a compact, reliable option for deep concealment, a modern derringer offers a unique balance of simplicity, size, and stopping power. Small two-shot pistols remain a viable backup or primary concealed-carry choice when weight, profile, and ease of access are the priorities.

BOND ARMS MINI GIRL

The BOND ARMS MINI GIRL trims the classic double-barrel frame to a 2.5-inch barrel length chambered for .357/.38 Special, wrapped in pink wood grips and paired with a selection of purse-friendly holsters. Priced at $517.99, this model is tailored for discreet carry while retaining proven Bond Arms durability and lockup.

Design and Build

The shortened 2.5-inch barrels reduce overall length for easier concealment without sacrificing the strong break-action lock and stainless components Bond Arms is known for. The pink wood grips provide a confident purchase in a smaller package and add a deliberate stylistic choice for owners who prefer a less tactical look. A variety of purse-friendly holsters are available to match carry preferences and wardrobe.

Caliber Considerations and Performance

Chambered for .357/.38 Special, the MINI GIRL gives users flexibility in ammunition selection. .357 Magnum loads offer superior terminal performance from a short barrel when maximum stopping capability is required; .38 Special provides reduced recoil and softer blast for practice or those sensitive to muzzle jump. Expect brisk muzzle blast and snappy recoil with magnum loads from the 2.5-inch tubes—training with the chosen load is essential for confident, effective shots under stress.

When to Choose This Derringer

Choose the MINI GIRL if you need an ultra-compact two-shot option for formal wear or purse carry where a small footprint is paramount. The simplicity of operation and minimal controls reduce training overhead compared with micro-semi-automatics.

Training and Practical Tips

Practice dry-fire to master the break-open loading and firing cadence, and run live-fire drills with both .38 Special and .357 to determine controllability and point of impact from typical carry distances. Pair the MINI GIRL with a dedicated purse holster that covers the trigger and stabilizes the pistol for immediate presentation.
