For about a half dozen years the gun was out of production but in 2002 a new firm, still with some ties to the design’s inventor, Bob Braverman, formed as the Stinger Manufacturing Company in Michigan. However, they folded for good in 2004. It is not known how many Stingers were made under the three different companies, but it certainly was not very many.

Unlike the true penguns mentioned above, the Stinger was NFA-friendly and even ATF-approved. Mechanically incapable of firing while in its ‘I’m a pen’ mode, the firearm had to be transformed into a pistol by pulling and pivoting the cylinder on a hinged joint. This gave gun a readily identified barrel and grip. A small trigger without a guard popped out when the gun was in this mode. To fire you simply pointed the muzzle end in the general direction of the target (there are no sights) and pushed upward on the trigger to fire. Since the Stinger operates in this method, and doesn’t fire while in ‘pen mode,’ the ATF blessed it with the title handgun and not an NFA-regulated AOW device. Hence, it is a cash and carry weapon with a normal transfer and not a Form 4 nightmare with tax stamps, CLEO signatures, etc.

Length of the Stinger when in pen mode is just under 6-inches. This is the same as a normal Bic-style disposable pen, but is closer to the thickness of a sharpie-style marker. At 5-ounces, it was heavy for a pen, but still less than an 8-ounce single-shot Butler derringer. The case, 2-inch barrel, and internal parts are all made of steel. No aluminum, pot metal, or polymers were used in the construction. This tends to make the Stinger look more like a tire-pressure gauge-gun than a pen-gun. A neat little metal collar behind the barrel twists around to form a crude but positive active safety device.
