Bond Arms BABU Backup 9mm Derringer 2.5" Barrel 2-Shot Pistol

The Bond Arms BABU Backup delivers reliable close-range protection in an ultra-compact derringer design. This 9mm Luger chambered pistol features a 2.5-inch barrel and traditional break-action operation for maximum simplicity and dependability.

What Makes This Different

Unlike polymer-framed compact pistols, the BABU utilizes Bond Arms' proven stainless steel construction with a bead-blasted finish that eliminates glare and provides superior corrosion resistance. The break-action design eliminates the complexity of magazines, springs, and feeding mechanisms found in semi-automatic pistols. This translates to fewer potential failure points and consistent ignition even after extended storage periods.

Key Features

• Stainless steel frame and barrel construction for maximum durability
• Bead-blasted finish provides anti-glare surface and corrosion protection
• Textured black rubber grips ensure secure handling in all conditions
• Break-action operation allows for quick visual chamber inspection
• 2-round capacity with simultaneous ejection for fast reloading
• Cross-bolt safety prevents accidental discharge during carry
• Compatible with standard 9mm Luger ammunition types

The BABU excels in backup gun applications where absolute reliability takes precedence over capacity. Law enforcement officers appreciate the simplicity for off-duty carry, while civilian users value the fail-safe operation for personal protection. The compact dimensions make it suitable for ankle holsters, pocket carry, or as a secondary weapon. Weather conditions that might affect semi-automatic reliability have minimal impact on the derringer's mechanical operation.
