Bond Arms Stinger .22 Long Rifle 3-Inch Stainless Break-Action Pistol

Bond Arms Stinger Overview

The Bond Arms Stinger .22 Long Rifle is a compact break-action pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The model features a 3-inch stainless-steel barrel, stainless-steel frame, synthetic grips, fixed sights, and a two-round capacity. Its overall length is listed at 4.5 inches, giving the Stinger a compact configuration within the Bond Arms double-barrel platform.

The supplied product description identifies the Stinger RS configuration as having a slimmer profile than Bond Arms’ regular double-barrel handguns. It also describes a Rough Series-style barrel and Rough Series finish on the stainless-steel frame. The configuration incorporates a rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, crossbolt safety, and trigger guard.

The Bond Arms Stinger .22 Long Rifle information also states that the firearm comes with standard rubber grips along with a slimmer set of polymer grips. The specifications table, however, lists the grips simply as synthetic. This listing therefore reflects the supplied specification as synthetic while also noting the additional grip information provided in the description.

.22 Long Rifle Rimfire Chambering

The Stinger is specified for .22 Long Rifle, a rimfire cartridge. This distinguishes the model from many Bond Arms configurations chambered for centerfire cartridges.

As with any firearm, ammunition should be selected according to the markings on the firearm and the manufacturer’s specifications. Users should verify the correct ammunition designation before loading and should consult the manufacturer’s documentation for additional ammunition requirements and limitations.

Compact 3-Inch Barrel Configuration

The Stinger has a listed 3-inch barrel and 4.5-inch overall length. The supplied description characterizes the Stinger RS configuration as having a slimmer profile than Bond Arms’ regular double-barrel handguns.

The barrel is described as a stainless-steel Rough Series-style barrel. The frame is also identified as stainless steel with a Rough Series finish. Together, these features give the Stinger a distinct appearance within the Bond Arms double-barrel lineup.

Break-Action Design

The Stinger uses a break-action mechanism. Opening the action provides access to the two chambers, corresponding with the firearm’s listed two-round capacity.

The break-action layout is a defining characteristic of the Bond Arms double-barrel platform. Users should become familiar with the opening and closing operation described in the manufacturer’s owner’s documentation before handling the firearm.

Rebounding Hammer and Retracting Firing Pins

The Stinger incorporates a rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins. These components form part of the firearm’s internal operating design.

The exact operation of these components should be understood from the manufacturer’s documentation for the specific model. Users should not attempt to modify or disassemble internal firearm components unless the manufacturer’s instructions specifically permit the procedure or the work is performed by an appropriately qualified professional.

Crossbolt Safety and Trigger Guard

A crossbolt safety is included in the Stinger configuration. The firearm also has a trigger guard surrounding the trigger area.

The safety should be operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A mechanical safety is an additional firearm control and should never replace fundamental safe-handling practices.

Grip Configuration

The specifications identify the Stinger’s grips as synthetic. The supplied product description provides additional detail, stating that the configuration comes with standard rubber grips and a slimmer set of polymer grips.

Because the supplied description and specifications use different terminology, the exact grip materials and included configuration should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s documentation for the particular Stinger being referenced.

Stainless-Steel Construction

The Stinger features a stainless-steel barrel and frame. The supplied description further identifies the frame as having a Rough Series finish and the barrel as having a Rough Series-style treatment.

Stainless-steel components still require appropriate maintenance. Users should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations concerning cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and storage rather than assuming that stainless construction makes a firearm maintenance-free.

Weight and Dimensions

The specifications supplied for this listing identify the Stinger as weighing 12 ounces, with a 3-inch barrel and 4.5-inch overall length. However, the descriptive portion of the supplied information states that the Stinger RS weighs 16 ounces.

Because these two supplied figures differ, the exact weight should be verified against the manufacturer’s current specification for the particular Stinger configuration before publishing a definitive weight claim elsewhere.

Safety and Responsible Handling

All firearms should be treated as loaded until their condition has been personally verified. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, keep fingers outside the trigger guard until ready to fire, and use only ammunition that is specifically identified as compatible with the firearm.

Users should familiarize themselves with the Stinger’s break-action mechanism, crossbolt safety, trigger guard, hammer, and other controls. The manufacturer’s owner’s manual should be used as the primary source for operating procedures, inspection, maintenance, and storage.

When not in use, the firearm should be stored securely and in accordance with applicable laws and recognized firearm-safety practices.

State Compliance Information

The supplied specifications identify the Stinger as Colorado compliant, New York compliant, and Washington compliant. Such product-designation statements are configuration-specific and should not be interpreted as universal legal determinations.

Firearm regulations can vary by jurisdiction and may change over time. Applicable federal, state, and local requirements should be independently verified for the exact configuration before possession, transfer, or other regulated activity.
