Key Features
- Two-shot .22 LR derringer: Why it matters: You get two quick shots from a platform that’s been trusted for over a century. Perfect for close-range defense or a day at the range.
- Extended B6 resin grips: Why it matters: These grips give you a fuller hold than standard derringer grips, making the Honey-B more comfortable to shoot and easier to control.
- Rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins: Why it matters: Bond Arms includes these safety features to prevent accidental discharge if the gun is dropped or the hammer is bumped. That’s peace of mind you can feel.
- Fixed sights: Why it matters: Simple, snag-free, and reliable. No adjustments needed — just align the front and rear and squeeze the trigger.
- Trigger guard included: Why it matters: Many derringers skip the trigger guard, but Bond Arms includes one for added safety during carry and handling.
Who It’s For
This derringer is a great fit for new gun owners looking for something small and easy to operate. It’s also ideal for experienced shooters who want a lightweight backup gun for a pocket or ankle holster. If you enjoy plinking with .22 LR or want a compact companion for hiking or fishing, the Honey-B belongs in your bag.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Extremely compact — at 5.5 inches overall, it hides in a front pocket without printing.
- Pro: Stainless steel construction resists rust and holds up to years of use.
- Pro: .22 LR is cheap and easy to find, so you can practice without breaking the bank.
- Con: Two-shot capacity means you need to make your shots count. Reloading takes a few seconds, so it’s not ideal for high-threat scenarios.
- Con: Fixed sights are basic — no night sights or fiber optics, but that’s standard for this style of gun.

As you can see, the Honey-B fills a very different niche than a modern 9mm pistol or AR-15. It’s a dedicated deep-concealment tool and fun range gun, not a high-capacity combat weapon. But that’s exactly what makes it special.
FAQ
Is the Bond Arms Honey-B safe to carry with a round in the chamber?
Yes. The rebounding hammer and retracting firing pins are designed to prevent the gun from firing unless the trigger is pulled deliberately. Just keep the hammer down on the empty chamber between the two barrels, and you’re good to go.
Can I use high-velocity .22 LR ammo in this derringer?
Absolutely. The Honey-B is built to handle standard and high-velocity .22 LR loads. Stick with reputable brands like CCI, Federal, or Remington for best reliability.
How do I clean the Honey-B after shooting?
Field stripping is straightforward — just remove the barrel latch pin and pivot the barrels forward. Clean with a .22-caliber brush and solvent, then lightly oil the moving parts. Per Bond Arms specs, avoid over-lubricating the firing pin channels.
Does this derringer come with a holster?
No, it ships with the grips and trigger guard only. But plenty of aftermarket pocket holsters and belt holsters are available for the 3-inch Bond Arms models. We carry a few options in-store.
Is the trigger heavy on the Honey-B?
It has a double-action-only trigger pull, typically around 8-10 pounds. That’s normal for a derringer and adds a layer of safety. With practice, you’ll get a feel for the break point.
