Description
Bond Arms took the frame from their Stinger Rough Series, bolted on the extended B6 grips from their big-bore guns, and ended up with one of the most practical derringers in their lineup. The Honey-B in 9mm gives you two rounds of a proven defensive cartridge in a package that measures just 5.5 inches long and weighs 17.5 ounces. The stainless steel frame wears a matte bead-blasted finish that Bond calls Rough and Tumble, and it holds up well to pocket lint, sweat, and holster wear without showing every scratch the way a polished gun does.
Why the Honey-B Grips Matter
Anyone who has fired a small derringer knows the grip is where these guns usually fall short. The B6 resin grips fix that with a palm swell, diamond texturing, and a pinky cutout that lets you get a real hold on the gun instead of pinching it with two fingers. That extra purchase makes a noticeable difference with 9mm, keeping recoil manageable and follow-up aim quick. Combined with the 17.5 ounces of stainless steel soaking up recoil, this is a derringer you can practice with instead of dreading.
Simple Controls, Bond Arms Toughness
The manual of arms is refreshingly straightforward. A frame-mounted lever drops the break action open for loading, a crossbolt safety sits between the hammer and frame, and the single-action trigger breaks at around 7 pounds. Fixed sights ride on top of the stacked 3-inch barrels, with the front blade machined right into the barrel assembly so there is nothing to snag or knock loose. Unlike some Bond models, the trigger guard is built into the frame.
One Honey-B, Multiple Calibers
Here is the part that makes this gun a smart buy: the barrels are interchangeable with other Honey-B and Stinger RS barrels, so you can add .38 Special, .380 ACP, .22 LR, or .22 Magnum down the road without buying another firearm. Just note that original Stinger and Hand Cannon barrels will not fit. Start with 9mm, the most sensible defensive chambering of the bunch, and build from there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I swap barrels on the Bond Arms Honey-B to shoot other calibers?
Yes, and that is one of the best things about this gun. The Honey-B accepts Honey-B and Stinger RS series barrels, so you can add .38 Special, .380 ACP, .22 LR, or .22 Magnum later on. Just be aware it is not compatible with original Stinger or Hand Cannon barrels, so make sure any spare barrel you pick up is made for this frame.
How does 9mm recoil feel in a derringer this small?
It is snappy but very manageable, more so than you might expect. The 17.5 ounces of stainless steel does a lot to soak up recoil, and the extended B6 grips with their palm swell and pinky cutout give you a full grip instead of a two-finger pinch. Most folks find it comfortable enough for regular practice sessions.
Is the Honey-B a good choice for pocket carry?
That is exactly what it was built for. At 5.5 inches long with snag-free fixed sights and a bead-blasted matte finish, it rides well in a pocket holster or as a deep-concealment backup. The finish also hides everyday wear better than the polished stainless on Bond's premium models.
Does the Bond Arms Honey-B have a safety?
Yes, it uses a push-button crossbolt safety located between the hammer and the frame, and it works from either side. Combined with the single-action design, which requires the hammer to be cocked before each shot, you get a simple and deliberate manual of arms. The trigger breaks at around 7 pounds.
