I'll give Bond some credit here in that they looked at ways to improve on their clunky, heavy derringers and put them on a keto diet to slim them down and lighten them up and make them slightly more practical. Choosing to build these Stingers around 9mm, .380, and I presume in the future .38 Special and never having any intention to make them in larger calibers means thinner guns as well as a lower price because aluminum is cheaper to work with than steel.
At $300, these are fine. I still find the old double action American Derringers in .22 Mag to be more practical and if Bond ever wanted to copy those and make them in .32 or .38 they would likely find some who would buy them.
