Compact defensive pistols occupy a unique niche for everyday carry: they must be small enough to remain comfortable, robust enough to be reliable, and simple enough to operate under stress. For shooters who prioritize a compact profile with a solid mechanical design, there’s a clear option to evaluate immediately.

BOND ARMS STINGER

Shop this product

Design and Build

The Stinger uses a traditional derringer silhouette executed in stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance. Though compact at just 4.5 inches overall length, the single-action mechanism produces a lighter trigger pull and supports safe loaded carry: the pistol is ready to fire only when the hammer is cocked back. That simplicity makes maintenance straightforward and reduces the number of potential failure points compared with more complex carry designs.

Handling and Carry

At 4.5 inches overall, the Stinger is tailored for discreet everyday carry. The stainless steel finish adds weight that helps tame recoil for a 9mm Luger chambering while maintaining reliability in adverse environments. The single-action trigger demands deliberate cocking of the hammer prior to firing — a mechanical safety characteristic some carriers prefer because it reduces the risk of an unintentional discharge while still allowing rapid first shots when needed.

Why the 9mm Luger?

9mm Luger offers commonality, manageable recoil, and a wide selection of defensive loads. In a short-barrel platform like this derringer-style pistol, choose quality defensive ammunition optimized for penetration and expansion while recognizing terminal performance is affected by barrel length.

Practical Applications

As a Semi Auto category option for close-range defensive carry, the Stinger is best suited as a last-resort backup for trained carriers who understand the limitations of short barrels and single-action operation. Its rugged stainless-steel build and simple controls make it a reliable candidate for those who want a low-maintenance, mechanically honest carry pistol. Price is $287.99, positioning it as an affordable, durable choice for compact defense.
