If all-American, pint-sized handguns are on your wish list, the field of options can be instantly narrowed to two top choices – Bond Arms and North American Arms. But which one should you choose? Guns.com breaks down the specs, designs, calibers, and more to help make the right choice for each shooter.
This may look like a head-to-head of apples and oranges, but in the grand scheme of small-frame pocket guns, Bond and NAA stand alone. Though both companies also offer a short line of semi-automatic pistols, our focus here will be on the bread and butter of both companies. What we have is a derringer-style two-shooter in the Bond versus a miniature revolver in the North American Arms.
Both are built of stainless steel with quality construction right here in America. Bonds are built in Granbury, Texas, and NAA comes out of Provo, Utah. The majority of Bond models use a full trigger guard, though a few guns have exposed triggers. NAA, meanwhile, features an open spur-style trigger, whereby everything is compact, rounded, snag-free, and nearly impossible to print.
