The Bond Arms Stubby (model BASTB9MM) takes the concept of deep concealment to its logical extreme. Part of the Texas maker's Rough Series, this single action derringer pairs a 2.2 inch barrel, the shortest Bond Arms has ever produced, with a modified steel Stinger frame. The result is a two-shot 9mm Luger pistol that measures just 4.25 inches long, 3.75 inches tall, and only 5/16 of an inch at its flattest point. At 13.6 ounces, it slips into a pocket and stays forgotten until called upon.
Bond Arms deleted the trigger guard and fitted slim black textured polymer panel grips to shave every fraction of an inch from the profile. That makes the Stubby thinner and shorter than nearly every micro 9mm on the market, and noticeably smaller than five-shot snub revolvers and classic pocket .380s. Range testing by independent reviewers has shown the break action design digests a wide mix of 115, 124, and 147 grain loads without a hiccup, a testament to the simplicity of the double barrel platform.
The stainless steel construction soaks up recoil better than featherweight polymer guns of similar size, and the matte finish shrugs off sweat and holster wear during daily carry. A crossbolt safety, rebounding hammer, and a deliberate trigger break around 7 pounds add layers of security against unintentional discharge, important features on a gun designed to ride in a pocket.
This is not a range toy or a target pistol, and Bond Arms never pretends otherwise. The Stubby is a true last-resort backup gun for concealed carriers who want a major defensive caliber in the absolute smallest package, whether as a deep cover primary in non-permissive clothing or a backup to a full-size carry gun.

The Stubby measures 4.25 inches long, 3.75 inches tall, and weighs 13.6 ounces, making it shorter and thinner than micro 9mm pistols like the Kahr CM9 and Ruger EC9s. It is also smaller than a five-shot J-frame revolver and most pocket .380s. Bond Arms bills it as the smallest production 9mm pistol on the market.
Yes. Although the trigger guard was removed to slim the profile, the Stubby includes a crossbolt safety and a rebounding hammer. The single action trigger also breaks at a stout 7 pounds or so, and the hammer must be manually cocked before each shot, which adds another layer of protection for pocket carry.
The simple break action double barrel design is inherently reliable since there is no slide or magazine to malfunction. Independent range testing put 170 rounds through the Stubby using 115, 124, and 147 grain target and defensive loads with zero failures. Standard pressure defensive ammo is recommended for the most controllable shooting.
Recoil is noticeable, as you would expect from a 13.6 ounce pistol firing a centerfire defensive cartridge. The all-steel frame helps absorb some of the impulse compared to lighter polymer guns, and a two-handed grip gives the best control. Most owners treat it as a close-range defensive tool rather than a high-volume range gun.
Yes, barrel interchangeability is a signature Bond Arms feature. The Stubby platform is also offered in .22 LR and .380 ACP, and compatible Bond Arms barrels in similar centerfire calibers can be swapped onto the frame. This lets you adapt one pistol to different ammunition needs or training budgets.
