Bond Arms took their already tiny Stinger, trimmed the barrel down to 2.2 inches, removed the trigger guard, and ended up with the Stubby, the most concealable pistol the Granbury, Texas company has ever made. The whole package runs about 4.25 inches long, 3.75 inches tall, and weighs roughly 13.6 ounces unloaded. The slim nylon grip panels keep the profile flat enough that it rides in a pocket without printing, which is exactly the point of a gun like this.
This is a classic two-shot break-action design done the modern Bond Arms way. Thumb the release lever, swing the barrel open, drop in two rounds of .22 LR, and snap it shut. The .22 version even gets a thumb extractor to kick out spent cases, something the rimless centerfire versions can't use. The single-action trigger breaks at about seven pounds, and Bond's patented rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins are backed up by a cross-bolt safety, so it carries loaded with real peace of mind. Fixed sights ride up top, though at the distances this gun is meant for, you'll mostly be pointing, not aiming.
A pocket pistol only helps if it's with you, and the Stubby's whole design revolves around that idea. The stainless steel frame shrugs off sweat and pocket lint, the bead-blasted matte finish keeps things low-key, and the .22 LR chambering means recoil is soft enough that follow-up practice at the range is cheap and pleasant. Compared to the .380 and 9mm versions, the rimfire Stubby is the easiest of the family to shoot well.
This is a last-resort, up-close tool, and it does that one job better than almost anything in its size class. As a backup to your primary carry gun, a tackle box companion, or simply the gun you grab when anything bigger stays home, the Stubby earns its spot.
Push the barrel release lever down and the barrel swings open on its hinge, exposing both chambers. Drop in two rounds, close it up, and you're loaded. The .22 LR version includes a thumb extractor that lifts the rimmed cases out for you, which the .380 and 9mm versions don't get, making the rimfire model quicker to reload.
Yes, and it's designed with that in mind. Bond Arms builds in a patented rebounding hammer that returns to a rest position after firing, plus retracting firing pins that stay off the cartridge rims. On top of that, there's a cross-bolt safety that blocks the hammer, so it carries fully loaded without drama.
Less than you'd think. This is a single-action gun with a stout trigger pull around seven pounds, and it can't fire unless the hammer is manually cocked first. The cross-bolt safety adds another layer on top of that. The exposed spur trigger is what lets the Stubby stay so small and snag-free, and a good pocket holster is still a smart addition.
The Stubby is built on a modified Stinger frame with the barrel shortened to 2.2 inches and the trigger guard removed. The grip is the same standard size, so it handles similarly, but the overall package is shorter and easier to conceal. If the Stinger was already small, the Stubby is Bond Arms' most compact pistol to date.
