Bond Arms heard the same request for years: build a slimmer, lighter double barrel that still carries a real defensive caliber. The Stinger line was the answer, and the Stinger RS is the all steel version of it. Where the standard Stinger uses an aluminum frame, the RS is machined from heat treated stainless steel top to bottom, which bumps the weight to a still very packable 16 ounces and gives you a gun that shrugs off sweat, rain, and hard daily use. RS stands for Rough Series, Bond's bead blasted matte finish that skips the polish work and puts the savings back in your pocket without touching the mechanics.
You get a 3 inch stainless double barrel chambered in .38 Special, a fixed blade front sight with a fixed rear, and a crisp single action trigger inside an integrated trigger guard. Safety wise, Bond stacked the deck with a crossbolt safety, a rebounding hammer, and retracting firing pins, so this little gun is built to modern standards, not old west ones. The profile is noticeably thinner than Bond's full size derringers, which is the whole point. This is a gun meant to disappear in a pocket or ride flat as a backup.
Every Stinger RS ships with a slim set of nylon grips and a set of standard rubber grips. Run the thin nylons when you want the flattest possible carry package, then swap to the rubber set when it's time to put rounds downrange and you want something with a little more cushion behind that .38 Special push. Swapping takes a screwdriver and a couple of minutes.
Like every Bond Arms handgun, the Stinger RS is designed and built in Granbury, Texas, with the fit and finish the company hung its reputation on. If you've been wanting a genuine stainless steel derringer in a proven defensive caliber without the heft of Bond's bigger frames, this is the one that finally threads that needle.
The standard Stinger uses an anodized aircraft grade aluminum frame and weighs about 12 ounces, while the Stinger RS is built entirely from heat treated stainless steel and weighs 16 ounces. Both share the same slim profile. The all steel construction of the RS also makes it more affordable than the aluminum framed version, so you're getting more metal for less money.
No, the Stinger and Stinger RS use a slimmer frame than Bond's standard double barrel handguns, so the regular lineup of interchangeable Bond Arms barrels won't fit. The 3 inch .38 Special barrel it ships with is what you'll run on this frame.
Bond Arms includes two grip sets in the box: a slim nylon set that keeps the gun as thin as possible for deep concealment, and a standard rubber set that gives you a softer, fuller hold for range sessions. Swapping between them is a quick job with basic tools.
It's designed with that in mind. The Stinger RS features a crossbolt safety, a rebounding hammer, and retracting firing pins, which are the same modern safety systems Bond Arms builds into its full size derringers. That's a big step up from the old school derringer designs of decades past.
