Key Features
- Break-Action Design — Why it matters: This traditional derringer action is simple to load, unload, and verify empty, making it a safe choice for newer shooters learning the ropes.
- 3-Inch Stainless Steel Barrel — Why it matters: The 3-inch barrel gives you enough length for reliable velocity from the .22 WMR round while keeping the overall size small enough for pocket carry.
- B6 Extended Grips — Why it matters: These grips add extra surface area for your hand, improving control and reducing felt recoil, which helps you keep the sights on target for follow-up shots.
- Fixed Sights — Why it matters: Fixed sights are snag-free and always aligned, so you don’t have to worry about adjustments — just point and shoot at close range.
- Lightweight Carry Profile — Why it matters: At just over 15 ounces, the Stinger Fireball won’t weigh down your pocket or purse, making it easy to carry every day.

FAQ
Is the Bond Arms Stinger Fireball easy for a beginner to shoot?
Yes. The break-action design is very simple to load and unload, and the .22 WMR cartridge has manageable recoil. The extended B6 grips help you hold it securely, so new shooters can focus on accuracy and safety.
Can I carry the Stinger Fireball in my pocket?
Absolutely. It weighs about 15 ounces and measures just over 5 inches long, so it fits easily in a jacket pocket, cargo pocket, or small purse. The fixed sights are snag-free, so it won’t catch on clothing when you draw.
What kind of ammunition does it use?
It’s chambered for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22 WMR). You can use standard-velocity or high-velocity loads. For defense, look for jacketed hollow-points for better expansion.
Is the stainless steel finish durable?
Yes. Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion better than blued steel. Per manufacturer specs, the satin finish is low-glare and holds up well to daily carry and moisture.
How do I clean and maintain the Stinger Fireball?
Open the action and wipe down the barrel and chamber with a bore brush and solvent. Lubricate the hinge pin and locking latch with a light gun oil. Always store it unloaded. A quick clean after each range trip keeps it reliable.
