Bond Arms First Lady Pistol

Texas based Bond Arms, known for its modern derringer designs, has just announced the launch of the new First Lady derringer, a special-edition firearm that will be made in limited quantities.

Following the launch of the Bond Arms DT47, the over-under model that Bond Arms launched last year to commemorate the second term of President Donald Trump, Bond Arms is now doing something similar with the new First Lady derringer. The right side of the derringer features a laser-engraved profile of First Lady Melania Trump wearing the iconic hat that the nation witnessed back in January 20, 2025 during President Donald Trump’s second inauguration. In addition to the First Lady’s profile, Bond Arms also engraved “First Lady” in cursive script on the top barrel, and “ Class, Strength, Beauty” on the bottom barrel.

The other side of the Bond Arms First Lady derringer includes a laser-engraved American flag draped over both barrels finished in white. This flag contrasts against the First Lady derringer’s Cerakote black finish.

The First Lady is chambered for .38 Spl. and works on the same style of action as other Bond Arms derringers.  Additionally, the First Lady sports Bond Arms’ extended B6 grips for comfort and manageability. This derringer features a 3-inch barrel, a Cerakote finish and a stainless steel Stinger RS frame. The First Lady has a  two cartridge capacity, is single-action with fixed sights and a trigger guard.
