The Bond Arms BASRS Stinger delivers reliable backup firepower in a compact derringer platform chambered in 380 ACP. This break-action pistol combines traditional derringer simplicity with modern manufacturing precision for concealed carry applications.
What Makes This Different
The BASRS (Bond Arms Stinger Roughneck Series) features a matte stainless steel barrel paired with an anodized aluminum frame, creating a corrosion-resistant finish that maintains functionality in adverse conditions. The 2.5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for 380 ACP cartridges while keeping overall length minimal. Unlike polymer-framed competitors, the metal construction ensures consistent lockup and barrel alignment shot after shot.
Key Features
- 380 ACP chambering with 2-round capacity for reliable stopping power
- 2.5-inch matte stainless steel barrel maximizes 380 ACP performance
- Anodized aluminum frame reduces weight while maintaining durability
- Blade front sight and fixed rear sight for quick target acquisition
- Black rubber grip provides secure handling in wet conditions
- Manual safety prevents accidental discharge during carry
- Break-action design allows quick reloading and chamber inspection
The BASRS Stinger functions reliably with standard 380 ACP ammunition from 90-grain to 102-grain bullet weights. The fixed sights regulate for defensive distances inside 15 yards, making it suitable for close-quarters personal protection. The manual safety engages positively and disengages smoothly under stress. Weather sealing around the action prevents moisture intrusion during extended carry periods.
