The Bond Arms Stubby delivers reliable .22 LR performance in an ultra-compact derringer platform measuring just 4.25 inches overall. This break-action pistol combines traditional derringer reliability with modern manufacturing precision for backup carry and close-range applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer-framed micro pistols, the Stubby features a solid stainless steel frame that withstands repeated firing without stress cracking. The break-action design eliminates complex feeding mechanisms found in semi-automatics, reducing potential failure points. Bond Arms' interchangeable barrel system allows caliber conversion with optional barrels, extending versatility beyond the standard .22 LR configuration.
Key Features
- Stainless steel frame construction resists corrosion and wear
- 2.2-inch barrel length balances concealability with ballistic performance
- Black textured polymer grips provide secure handling in adverse conditions
- Break-action operation requires no magazine or complex controls
- Cross-bolt safety prevents accidental discharge during carry
- Compatible with Bond Arms interchangeable barrel system
- Dual firing pins accommodate both rimfire and centerfire cartridges
The Stubby excels in backup gun roles where absolute reliability matters more than capacity. Law enforcement officers appreciate the simplicity for ankle carry, while outdoorsmen value the weather resistance for survival kits. The .22 LR chambering provides effective close-range performance with minimal recoil, making follow-up shots manageable despite the compact grip.
