Bond Arms Honey-B .22 LR Derringer 3″ Stainless w/ B6 Grips

Description

Derringers have been riding in pockets for well over a century, and Bond Arms has spent the last few decades proving the old two-shot design can be built right. The Honey-B in .22 LR is part of their Stinger Rough Series, which means a bead-blasted stainless steel frame with a matte finish that looks good, shrugs off wear, and doesn't need babying. At 5.5 inches long and around 17.5 ounces, it disappears into a pocket holster, yet there's enough weight there to keep it planted in the hand.

Why the Honey-B Feels Better Than Older Derringers

The big story here is the extended B6 resin grip. Traditional derringer grips leave half your hand hanging off the bottom, but the B6 fills the palm and includes a pinky notch, so you get a full, controlled hold. It also puts the hammer within easy reach for one-handed cocking. Combine that with the mild manners of .22 LR and you have one of the most pleasant two-shot pistols you'll ever put rounds through. The 3-inch stainless over/under barrels wear a fixed front blade and integrated rear notch, and the single action trigger breaks at about 7 pounds.

Built with Bond Arms Know-How

The Honey-B carries the features Bond built its reputation on: a patented rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, and an ambidextrous cross-bolt safety, all wrapped around an integral trigger guard machined right into the frame. A spring-loaded, cammed locking lever on the left side swings the barrels open for quick loading, and the whole gun cleans up in about two minutes since the break action is as far as takedown goes.

One Honey-B, Multiple Calibers

Here's a smart bonus: the barrels are swappable with other Honey-B and Stinger RS barrels, so you can add centerfire options like .380, 9mm, or .38 Special down the road with a simple Allen wrench swap. Cheap rimfire ammo for practice, bigger barrels when you want them. That's a lot of versatility packed into a pistol that fits in the palm of your hand.
