Bond Arms has a habit of turning the humble derringer into something worth showing off, and the First Lady might be their most eye-catching effort yet. Built on the stainless steel Stinger RS frame and dressed in black Cerakote with rose gold highlights, this limited edition two-shot is chambered in .38 Special, a caliber that gives you real defensive capability without beating up your hand the way the big-bore Bond models can. The 3 inch barrels wear laser engraving on both sides: the right side carries the First Lady profile portrait in that famous inauguration hat, with "First Lady" in script on the top barrel and "Class, Strength, Beauty" on the bottom. Flip it over and you'll find an American flag draped across the left side of the barrels.
Don't let the engraving fool you into thinking this one belongs behind glass. The First Lady runs like any other Bond Arms derringer, which is to say it's built like a tank. Operation is simple: release the lever, tip the barrels down, drop in two rounds, snap it shut, then cock the hammer for each shot. The single action trigger, cross-bolt safety, and trigger guard make it a straightforward, secure package, and the fixed front blade and rear sights keep aiming uncomplicated at the close ranges a gun like this is meant for. At 17.5 ounces with a 5.5 inch overall length, it carries that reassuring Bond Arms heft in a package that disappears into a pocket or holster.
The extended B6 resin grips are a genuinely useful touch. They give your pinky somewhere to land, which makes a noticeable difference in control compared to the stubby grips on older derringer designs. Between the manageable .38 Special chambering and that fuller grip, this is one of the easier shooting guns in the Bond lineup. Since production is limited, the First Lady has real appeal as a collectible or heirloom, but it's every bit a functional firearm too. Whether it ends up in a display case, a gift box, or your carry rotation, it earns its spot.
It's a fully functional firearm built on the same stainless steel Stinger RS platform Bond Arms uses across its lineup. The .38 Special chambering is one of the more comfortable options in a Bond derringer, and the extended B6 grips give your whole hand something to hold onto. Plenty of buyers pick it up as a keepsake, but it's absolutely range ready.
The right side carries a laser-engraved profile portrait wearing the well-known wide-brimmed inauguration hat, with 'First Lady' in cursive script on the top barrel and 'Class, Strength, Beauty' on the bottom barrel. The left side features an American flag draped across both barrels. The engraving is set off by rose gold highlights against the black Cerakote finish.
It's about as simple as handguns get. Flip the release lever, tip the barrels down, load a round into each chamber, and snap the barrels closed. From there it's single action, so you cock the hammer before each of the two shots. A cross-bolt safety and trigger guard round out the controls. One thing to know: this model does not have an extractor, so spent cases are removed by hand after firing.
Yes, Bond Arms is producing the First Lady in limited quantities as a special edition, similar to what they did with the DT47 model. Once the run is done, that's it, which is a big part of the appeal for collectors. If it's on your list, it's worth grabbing while it's available.
