I've been looking for one too. According to some of the friends on this site, American Derringer is the way to go. Bond Arms, at least from the few I've handled, seemed solid, though "clunky", for want of a better expression. All of the Davis and Cobra derringers I've owed were a study in crapola and have been long since dumped. YMMV.
The Bond Arms are practically the same size as some semis. So I don't see them as a good choice in my opinion.

Avoid them. They are dangerous if dropped. Rex Applegate told me that he tested a Remington one in WW II and was underwhelmed with the penetration. That was in traditional .41 RF, of course.
I doubt the locking systems are really strong enough for modern ammo, although steels have improved.
Get a small .380 auto or a snub .38 instead. Accuracy will be better, especially beyond armslength distances, and they are simply safer.
.380? Have you all tried any?
We both actually have a sigp238,I mentioned it in a couple post up.90% of the time it fills the role perfect. Just not this time.
