The Bond Arms BABU Backup delivers maximum stopping power in an ultra-compact package, chambered in 45 ACP with a 2.5-inch barrel for serious personal protection. This American-made derringer combines traditional over/under design with modern materials and manufacturing precision.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer pocket pistols, the BABU features a solid stainless steel frame with bead-blasted finish that resists corrosion and provides superior durability. The anti-glare textured surface eliminates reflective surfaces while maintaining grip security. Bond Arms' proprietary trigger guard design allows gloved operation while maintaining safety standards that exceed industry requirements.
