Bond Arms Stubby 9mm 2.2" Derringer

The Bond Arms Stubby 9mm SS 2.2" FS B6 Grips is a compact derringer-style backup firearm purpose-built for law enforcement, security professionals, and civilians seeking deep concealment capability in a lightweight, reliable platform. This single-action, over-under design delivers two rounds of 9mm firepower in a footprint small enough for ankle, pocket, or waistband carry—making it an ideal deep-cover backup when primary weapons are compromised or unavailable. Bond Arms has engineered this Stubby variant specifically for shooters who prioritize mobility and discrete carry over extended firing sequences.

The bead-blasted matte stainless steel construction resists corrosion and maintains a low-reflectance finish suitable for tactical operations, while the compact 2.2-inch barrel provides adequate velocity for reliable 9mm Luger ammunition with acceptable shot grouping at typical backup-gun engagement distances (3–7 yards). The B6 custom grips offer a secure, indexed grip surface that accommodates both right and left-handed shooters, and the crossbolt safety design—without a trigger guard—allows for rapid presentation from concealment. Fixed front blade and rear sights deliver quick target acquisition without reliance on electronic components or adjustable optics, ensuring 100-percent mechanical reliability in extreme conditions.

This platform is best suited for trained armed professionals—law enforcement plainclothes units, undercover operatives, and vetted armed citizens—who understand the legal and tactical implications of a backup derringer and maintain regular proficiency training. The two-round capacity demands disciplined shot placement; this is not a primary defense gun but rather a last-resort tool for scenarios where conventional firearms cannot be accessed. Installation requires no gunsmithing; simply verify safe function and familiarize yourself with the crossbolt safety mechanism before carry. Ammunition compatibility is limited to standard 9mm Luger loads; +P rounds are not recommended due to the compact steel frame design.
