Texas firearm company Bond Arms has a reputation for putting the power in your pocket with their small, powerful derringers. However, they also recognize that women like to conceal carry for personal protection as well. For this reason, Bond Arms has introduced two new pistols with a feminine flair, the Momma Bear and Girl Mini.
The Bond Arms Momma Bear and Girl Mini
The Momma Bear and Girl Mini are very similar in almost every way and share similar specifications. Each of the diminutive derringers weighs a meager 19-ounces, making them more portable regardless of attire. Additionally, the small frames measure at an overall length of a small 4.5 inches, with 2.5-inch barrel. These little powerhouses will comfortably fit into a handbag, backpack or concealed-carry holster.
Where they differ most is in the power they are packing. The Girl Mini comes with 38Spcl/357Mag barrels, whereas the Momma Bear also includes 9mm. Also, the Girl Mini does not have a trigger guard, where the Momma Bear does.
But don’t let the lack of trigger guard worry you. Both pistols include Bond Arms’ enhanced safety elements like the locking hammer, retracting firing pins and cross-bolt safety. However, they both still feature one-handed operation.
If you would prefer more power in your pocket, both pistols are compatible with dozens of Bond Arms’ optional barrels. This allows you to swap out the included barrel for different lengths and/or cartridges. The easily swappable barrels even allow you to move up to the powerful .410 bore, for ultimate defense.
