Granbury, TX (January 25, 2024) –

Bond Arms® breaks convention with the introduction of the Honey B, challenging the common perception of the .22 Magnum as an unconventional choice for defensive pistols. Despite its longstanding history of approximately 65 years in small game hunting, the .22 Magnum proves its versatility as a potent option for personal defense.

Available in multiple calibers, including 22LR, 9mm, 380, and 38 special, the Honey B stands out by featuring the .22 Magnum, offering an intermediate option with minimal recoil. The .22 Magnum showcases impressive velocities ranging from 1530 to 2200 FPS, delivering 300-322 ft-lb of force with 50-30 grain projectiles. In a noteworthy comparison, the 9 MM, a more commonly recognized defensive caliber, exhibits velocities between 1180-1300 FPS with 115-147 grain projectiles, providing 323-357 ft-lb. of force. The Honey B demonstrates that the .22 Magnum can be a formidable choice for personal protection.

The Honey B features extended black B6 resin grips mounted on a stainless steel frame. The frame incorporates a trigger guard directly into the milling, and a low-profile takedown lever is positioned on the left-hand side near the cross hammer safety push button. The firearm boasts a 3-inch barrel (5.5 inches overall) for accuracy and precision, equipped with a front sight blade and rear sights integrated into the frame. Factory sights are set to a 10-yard zero, and additional barrels in various calibers can be purchased from Bond’s website. Weighing 17.5 ounces, the Honey B provides enough heft to maintain stability and reduce recoil for quicker follow-up shots with a standard 7-pound trigger pull.

With its softer recoil caliber, compact dimensions, discreet features, and relatively lightweight build, the Honey B in .22 Magnum emerges as a thoughtfully designed and user-friendly option for those seeking a versatile defensive pistol. Bond Arms continues to push boundaries, offering firearms that redefine expectations and challenge conventional norms in the realm of personal protection.

Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that’s both strong and durable.
