Key Features
- 3” Stainless Steel Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: This provides enough barrel length to stabilize 9mm rounds for reliable expansion and accuracy at self-defense distances, while keeping the overall package compact.
- 7075 Aluminum Frame — WHY IT MATTERS: Aerospace-grade aluminum keeps weight at 14.4 oz without sacrificing strength, making this one of the lightest 9mm derringers you can carry daily.
- Extended B6 Resin Grip — WHY IT MATTERS: The longer grip gives your pinky a place to land, improving recoil control and follow-up shot placement on a two-shot platform.
- Single Action Trigger with 7 lb Pull — WHY IT MATTERS: A consistent, crisp trigger break helps you place that first round precisely, critical when you only have two shots on tap.
- Fixed Sights — WHY IT MATTERS: No snag-prone adjustable sights here. The low-profile fixed sights are snag-free and always zeroed for point-of-aim at typical engagement ranges.
Who It’s For
This Bond Arms Stinger is built for the shooter who needs a deep-concealment backup that disappears under a t-shirt or in a pocket holster. It’s ideal for plainclothes security, off-duty officers, or anyone who wants a reliable 9mm when a full-size pistol is impractical. The aluminum frame also appeals to those who carry all day and need to shave every ounce possible.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Ultra-light 14.4 oz weight makes it one of the most carry-friendly 9mm derringers available.
- Pro: 7075 aluminum frame is corrosion-resistant and tough enough for years of pocket carry.
- Pro: Extended grip improves handling over standard derringer grips.
- Con: 2-round capacity means you need to make every shot count. This is a last-resort tool, not a primary range gun.

The Bond Arms Stinger is in a different class than the Zev OZ9 or Lone Wolf Timberwolf. The Zev is a full-size race gun; the Lone Wolf is a Glock clone for range use. The Stinger is a dedicated backup piece where weight and size matter most. According to Bond Arms specs, the Stinger’s 7075 frame is stronger than standard 6061 aluminum, yet it stays lighter than any steel-frame derringer.
FAQ
Is the Bond Arms Stinger FireBall safe to carry with a round in the chamber?
Yes. The Stinger features a manual cross-bolt safety and a hammer rebounding system. With the safety engaged and the hammer down on the rebounding notch, the firing pin is blocked. Always use a quality holster that covers the trigger guard.
Can I use +P ammunition in this 9mm derringer?
Bond Arms recommends standard-pressure 9mm ammunition for the Stinger FireBall. While the stainless steel barrel and 7075 frame can handle occasional +P loads, the 14.4 oz weight makes recoil sharp with hot ammo. Stick to 115-124 grain FMJ or JHP for best control.
What holsters fit the Bond Arms Stinger with the extended B6 grips?
Most pocket holsters designed for Bond Arms derringers will work, but the extended grip may require a holster made specifically for the Stinger model. Check brands like DeSantis, Galco, and Simply Rugged for Stinger-compatible options.
How do I clean the anodized aluminum frame without damaging the finish?
Use a mild solvent like Hoppe’s No. 9 or CLP on a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads or steel wool. The matte anodized finish is durable, but harsh chemicals can dull it over time. Wipe down after each range session.
Is this derringer legal in all 50 states?
Yes, the Bond Arms Stinger FireBall meets federal guidelines for handguns. Some states have capacity restrictions, but since it holds only 2 rounds, it passes in all 50 states. Check your local laws regarding concealed carry of derringers.
