Compact defensive tools demand careful evaluation: concealability, reliability, and ergonomics determine whether a gun is a viable last-resort option. For shooters prioritizing extreme concealment without adding bulk, this micro-sized offering redefines what a pocket pistol can be.

BOND ARMS STUBBY is built around an all-time short 2.2″ barrel on a modified steel Stinger frame, delivering an ultra-compact footprint that stays out of sight while still being a purposeful defensive tool. It weighs just 13.6 oz and measures 4.25″ overall with a height of 3.75″ and a remarkably flat 5/16″. The design removes the trigger guard and fits slim polymer panel grips to create a true last-resort firearm.

Key features and why they matter

Ultra-short barrel (2.2″): The 2.2″ barrel makes concealment effortless in deep concealment pockets or minimalist holsters. Expect ballistic trade-offs common to very short barrels; this pistol is optimized as a last-resort defensive option rather than a primary duty piece.

Size, weight, and profile

At 13.6 oz and 4.25″ overall length, the Stubby fits in tight carry spaces. The 5/16″ flat profile reduces printing under light clothing, and the trimmed dimensions make draw and concealment predictable for pocket carry.

Frame, controls, and grip

The modified steel Stinger frame provides structural integrity despite the compact package. Removing the trigger guard and using slim polymer panel grips creates an accessible purchase for quick indexing while keeping the overall footprint minimal. These choices emphasize speed and concealment over extended-fire ergonomics.

Category: Semi Auto — this platform choice favors a small, easily carried defensive tool. Caliber varies by model, so verify the chambering you prefer before purchase. Price is listed at $277.99, making it an affordable option for those seeking a purpose-built backup firearm.

Practical considerations for carry

Train draw and trigger control with an unloaded rig to account for the unique controls and shortened sight radius. Confirm local laws and store the stubby securely when not in use. Bond Arms has a reputation for compact defensive designs, and the Stubby extends that lineage into an even smaller, more concealable package.
