A bearded man, with overalls and a Rolex, shooting a Derringer with a garden gnome in the background - the epic video I never knew I needed until now!
Ha! Thanks - the watch is a vintage Seiko Automatic.
The true litmus test
His hat, gun et coveralls
A chunkier version of my papa
Nuff said
@@Gunblastdotcom ah, okay, looks just like my uncle's Datejust 😎
This tattooed bearded guy may not have a tattoo
(Its a Paul Harrell joke).
Which one is the gnome?
Glad that Bond Arms are making affordable arms, thanks for the review and God bless 🙏
Thanks for sharing this. Getting a lot closer in size to the old Remington forefather. I like it.
I have a Stinger in 22 and its a fabulous little firearm. Very well built and accurate.
4 to 7 lbs. trigger pull on a derringer, If I wasn't so fat and old, I would be doing cartwheels. Great video! Last but not least It is nice to see that GUNBLAST continues with the excellence that we came to expect. God Bless
Derringers may not be the most advanced gun or the best for self defense, but I just like em. I really like my BA Rowdy. Feels like a little hand cannon, very stout and well made.
You did your brother proud! Great video, sure would like to see a 22 mag
AMEN.
Thanks for keeping GunBlast going.
Great job Boge! Great review as always! Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas
I wonder if the geometry/physics/metallurgy of it all would allow for a Stinger barrel to be made in .44 Special?
I think so.
I see people asking for entirely aluminum versions of this gun. This has been done before. American Derringer Corporation, also out of Texas, made ultralight aluminum versions of their Model 1 in .38 and .44 Special back in the 1980s. The ADC guns were on the scene quite a long time before Bond, also very high quality, a little bit smaller and with somewhat more pleasing contours, but far more expensive. I've been in the firearms industry a long time, and these guns are seldom seen. Though they are still made. ADC originated the concept of the .45 Colt/.410 shotshell pistol, and was the first to introduce the .410 buckshot cartridge. At one point they even made guns chambered in rifle calibers like the .30-30, .223, and .45-70. Somewhat nicer and more refined than the Bond guns in appearance, but generally more than double the price with very limited availability. Not quite as heavily built either. I have two Bonds, including the Stinger 9mm, but no ADC derringers.
There is an aluminum-framed Stinger available.

@@Gunblastdotcom I've seen this, but haven't gotten to fire one. My Stinger is the all stainless steel 9mm version. Not at all unpleasant to fire, actually. I also have the .45 Colt/.410 2 1/2" version. Recoil is much more substantial, but still very manageable. The Bond guns are little chunks of steel. Very heavily built. The ultralight ADC guns used aluminum even for the barrels. Very rare. I've only ever seen one or two. Never got to fire one, but I believe they had a rather more limited working life. Surely setting off the .44 Special in a gun weighing only a few ounces would be distinctly unpleasant!
I'm waiting for the aluminum. 38 review of the Stinger. Curious as to the recoil.
That’s awesome to find out! I didn’t know the aluminum 380acp stinger I got awhile back will eventually be able to use other caliber barrels!?! 👍🏻
That thing looks bigger than my 5 shot J frame! I think I’ll stick with 5 shots .357 over 2 shots .38 Special.
🥴👊
I have a J frame. It's much smaller than a J frame. Even my full-size Bond is easier to conceal than my J frame.
@@honorb4glory606if you say so. A Snake Slayer’s an inch wide and almost half a pound heavier than a loaded J frame airweight. (At least the Snake Slayer can launch .410 shells, unlike these items.)
Bond has came a long way as far as making a well made less expensive version, Y'all Have a Merry Christmas Boge
Great review. Thank you for continuing your brother’s work.
I was informed by Sydra at Bond Arms that the barrels are not supposed to be swapped between the Stinger and Stinger RS. I was able to swap the 38sp barrel from the RS to the Stinger, but I could not fit the 9mm barrel from the aluminum stinger on the Stinger RS frame (without modification).
Thank you for that info. I have not tried to switch barrels between the different Stinger series, but Gordon Bond told me that it should work.
Thank you for your video sir and happy holidays to you and your family . Turkish guy from Texas
.22wmr barrel would be nice.
I have an old Texas Defender .There is a pretty heavy trigger pull and accuracy issues because the .45 Long Colt has a long way to go to reach the rifling. I immediately ordered a 10 mm barrel and I love my little hand cannon!
Great overall review...spot on...
Yes sir them is two nice pieces of work you have a good day sir..
Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching!
Another awesome review, it's always a pleasure watching and seeing Jeff at the end!✌️
Love these bonds! I’m one of the folks who makes holsters if you’re looking for leather feel free to reach out to me! Another great video. Getting my stinger 22 after this Santa bill is squared away lol
Nice review. Good things come in small packages.
Love the gnome in the background
You good Sir, are the best gun reviewer of all time.
Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me.
good video, love bond arms, looks like a couple more guns on my list..
Keep up the good work Boge, thanks for carrying on !!
If they would offer this in 327 Id have two!! (Even 32 H&R)
Tell Bond Arms what you want, if they see a demand they will make them.
@@Gunblastdotcom I have emailed when it first came out.
Thank you Brother! Could you do more detail in cleaning & holster & dry firing
I just picked one of these up in 38.
Now I'm trying to find a good video that actually shows loading the gun. I can't for the life of me work that small lever to open up the action without serious fiddling. The darn thing needs a bigger shelf for better purchase. It goes most of the way and hangs up on something I cannot overcome one handed.
I guess I'll keep looking for a better review that isn't so focused on pushing merch. I wouldn't have minded seeing you operating your trigger pull ga either. 4lbs? They had to have slicked that one up.
These are such low-pressure and low-recoil cartridges, and the single-shot action lockup is so strong, that I'd like to see them go lighter. However, a very small and lightweight gun with a tiny grip can have snappy recoil even with .38Spl or .22LR, so I appreciate this stainless option. Low recoil fun plinking.
If they ever do a lighter .22, .25ACP, or .32 Long, maybe they could experiment with eliminating the steel apart from a very thin barrel liner. All aluminum and polymer. These are the lowest-pressure cartridges available and I think at least some of them could take the low-pressure cartridges in a design like this. If Bond could eliminate almost all of the steel and make it really lightweight, it might be fun in a weenie mousegun cartridge and attract shooters who otherwise would buy a North American Arms mini-revolver or even a Kel-Tec P-32.
.32 Long is my favorite mousegun cartridge because it actually penetrates deep with a full wadcutter (I don't think it gives up much compared to a .38 Spl wadcutter), but even weaker (if necessary for a plastic-aluminum derringer) could still be fun. .22LR can still be effective with the right ammo (Federal Punch is ideal for self-defense), and less-penetrating cartridges like .32 Short are still effective on rodents and small game like rabbits.
They do offer an aluminum-frame Stinger in 22 LR, 380, 9mm, and 38 Special. I reviewed the 380 & 9mm: ruclips.net/video/sGXFlBpRhjk/видео.html
Great presentation bredren 👍🏾
Thanks for sharing
i used to watch this channel when the other gentleman was still living, this is the first video i have watched with then new host. You sound just like him, are you two brothers? its almost creepy how similar you sound
Jeff was my big brother, I've worked with him on Gunblast from the beginning. I'm glad you enjoy it!
Merry Christmas!
absolutely love your video you covered everything absolutely perfectly and your videography was magnificent and I love that holster recommendation.
I never engage the safety since the firearm requires the hammer to be drawn back to fire.
I really want one of those in .22LR. The only problem will be finding one in stock somewhere!
I can sort of see the point of the .38 Spl model here, since that cartridge is so versatile and common, and has a rim.
But someone’s surely going to point out that a Taurus ultra lite snub revolver is almost exactly the same weight, is pocketable, shoots to same point of aim with each pull, costs only $60-$70 more, and holds *six* rounds of .38 Special. And I see that argument too.
With the Bond Arms you shot twice and then throw the gun at the bad guy.
These derringers get a bad rap because they're often loaded with cartridges that I think are too powerful for the concept. The original Remington Model 95, from which all of these two barrel derringers are descendant, was a very popular firearm that was made for 69 years, well into the 1930s. One of the reasons it was popular was because it was easy to shoot. The .41 Short Rimfire cartridge it was chambered in generated around 100 foot pounds of energy. Certainly deadly, but fairly weak by modern standards. A comparable modern cartridge would be one of the lighter .38 Special 148 grain wadcutter loads, like the Fiocchi or Sellier & Bellot which should generate around 90 to 120 foot pounds of energy in the same barrel length. But a lot of people buy these things in .45 Colt generating somewhere around 450 foot pounds of energy and then wonder why they hate shooting it and can't hit anything. There's no reason these derringers can't be accurate. They're just often loaded with cartridges powerful enough it becomes very difficult to shoot them accurately. I think .38 special wadcutters make a great pairing with this kind of firearm and I'm happy to see you agree.
Been waiting four weeks for my supplier to get one of the aircraft aluminum 12 oz stingers for me. Meanwhile a high-priced Warehouse supplier that is 30 minutes away from me and I still haven't got one
Great look👍🏽gotta add one to my collection
I would just use .22 snap caps. You can dry fire those 4 to 5 times b4 they are useless. Just bought my first Bond Arms Stinger RS .22 LR
Good presentation. 👍
Great video Boge! I have been wanting one. Can’t decide between 38 and 22. The 38 with wad cutters makes sense as expansion from a hollow point won’t happen from this short barrel anyway. With the 22, the new Federal Punch might be good as it’s designed for a short barrel defense round in 22.
Grab the .22 the pick up the .38 barrel. The .22 barrel will not be sold separately.
Best derringer ever made ! Good job Bond Arms.
I would suggest a wad cutter bullet ! Awesome choice
I had the .45 ACP and it was pretty hot to shoot. In wonder if the .38WC shoots softer?
Cross draw nice for in the car
Very through analysis, like him and his brother’s video(rip)!
Wadcutters …… Nice Boge, Jeff always liked the wadcutters too, if I remember correctly. I hope that you’re doing well, and great video with the Bond Derringers. I’ve been wanting one of those Bond Derringers in 9mm, my favorite of the mm’s. Be well, and be prepared Boge. 👍 - Jason/Freedom Fighter Until Death/Vermont, DSA (‘DSA’, unfortunately meaning “The Divided States Of America”)
I have the Grizzly bear model and I love it
Can you switch barrels with the . 22 lr?
Yes.
I want one.
Bonged arms messed up when they put the Skeletonized. triggers on these guns I know because I have the Cowboys defender with the O style trigger and it's a 100 times better.
merry christmas brother bulge hope to see you at the play
and nice videos
Correction: According to Bond Arms, the original (aluminum) and Rough Series (stainless) Stingers' barrels DO NOT interchange. I found out the hard way. They look like they would and should interchange. I had an original Stinger (aluminum) in 9mm. It was exceedingly painful for me to shoot. I nagged Bond for over a year to start selling us accessory barrels. They said they could not as everything they had went to production guns. Just short of a year, Bond agreed to send me a .380 barrel for my original Stinger if I would send them the 9mm back in even trade. This was nice of them to make a customer happy.
As I waited on my .380 barrel to arrive, I found a Stinger Rough Series (stainless) in a local gun store and bought it. They only had one and it was in .380. I bought it and, as I had brought my original Stinger (aluminum) with me, I proceeded to swap barrels between the guns. The .380 barrel on the Rough/stainless fit onto the original/aluminum gun with no problem. Recoil on BOTH guns was pleasant and manageable. The. 380 barrels on the Rough/stainless tended to shoot rather far apart and way left on both guns for me, but was so easy compared to the 9mm.
Next, I wanted to see if the 9mm barrel from the Original/aluminum gun was easier to shoot on the heavier stainless frame. Myself and store range personnel were unable to get the (identical looking) Allen screw for the stainless frame to catch the threads and attach the original barrel to the stainless frame. After much blood, sweat, and tears, a partial connection was made using the original (aluminum) Stinger barrel on the Rough(stainless) frame. It still would not secure with the Allen screw (stainless frame) all the way through, therefore I never got to fire the 9mm barrel in that gun. A couple or so weeks later, I was unable to get the Original Stinger barrel off of the Rough Series frame. I called Bond Arms and was told by their customer service rep that barrels between the two Stinger models are not supposed to interchange. At first, I was doubtful, but apparently this IS true.
Bond sent a mailing label and I sent the Rough Series to them for them to undo the mess that I had made and they would take the original Stinger barrel off of the RS (stainless) frame.
Bond graciously removed that barrel.
Thank you for that information. I have not tried to interchange barrels between Stinger series, but was going by info I received directly from Gordon Bond.
Id like to get one of these in 10mm
I enjoyed this video probably a bit too much.
Everything I have been waiting for BA to make. I just don’t like the non removable trigger guard.
At 8:28, that looks like a keyhole, which is not a good thing. Was that .22LR or .38 Spl?
That is not a keyhole, it is two shots fired very close together. The target back was unsupported, and the paper tore between the two shots. This is from the 22 barrel.
@Gunblastdotcom
Good! Thank You for clarifying that! 👍
Does it accept Glock magazines..??
Bond arms does not recommend using magtec ammo in these guns
Makes a 5 shot revolver look high tech and high capacity. What a tragically bad choice for self defense. You have to manually cock the hammer, make sure the safety is off and then you only get 2 shots! Soooooooooooooo, don’t miss and then you better hope the bad guy doesn’t have an accomplice coming around the corner!
I got a cobra 38 derringer almost sold. Glad i didnt. Nice walking the dog down street
👍👍👍👍
