Bond Arms BASTB Stubby 380 2.2" 2-Round Stainless Derringer

The Bond Arms BASTB Stubby .380 ACP is purpose-built for deep concealment in situations where minimal footprint and weight are non-negotiable. Designed for law enforcement off-duty carry, plainclothes operations, and civilians seeking ultimate portability, this derringer represents the pinnacle of Bond Arms' compact firearm engineering. At just 1.1 pounds with a 4.25-inch overall length and 5/16-inch profile, the Stubby delivers genuine pocket-carry capability without sacrificing reliability or shootability—a critical advantage for professionals who require accessible backup protection in restrictive environments.

Built on a modified steel Stinger frame, the Bond Arms BASTB Stubby chambers .380 ACP with dual-round capacity through its break-top action, providing two shots on demand with manual reload. The 2.20-inch barrel delivers consistent velocity appropriate for .380 ballistics, while the matte stainless steel frame resists corrosion in all-weather conditions. Black textured polymer grips provide positive indexing and assured control despite the diminished dimensions, ensuring instinctive presentation and follow-up shot capability. The break-top design allows for rapid unloading, chamber inspection, and cartridge rotation—critical operational advantages in defensive carry scenarios where reliability verification matters.

Tactical professionals and civilian carriers benefit most from the BASTB Stubby's uncompromising approach to concealment. This platform is ideal for ankle holster deployment, inside-waistband carry, or pocket configuration where traditional semi-automatic pistols prove impractical. Law enforcement personnel utilize derringers as deep-cover backup guns during undercover operations or plainclothes assignments; the compact steel construction withstands holster retention demands across extended shifts. The .380 ACP cartridge selection balances controllability with proven defensive effectiveness in close-quarters encounters. Compatible with standard Bond Arms holster systems and accessory frames, the Stubby integrates seamlessly into existing tactical loadouts for those prioritizing maximum concealability.
