If you're looking for the best concealed carry pistol that's both highly concealable and deadly accurate,
this pistol is second to none!

I've had mine for over 10 years. I took the whole thing apart, way further than a novice should do and easily got it back together, with the help of a good diagram. But don't try it yourself unless you know what you are doing. It field strips easily and is very strong and well made, in my opinion. It is very concealable and fairly light weight for being a 45. After firing 100 or 150 rounds it can sometimes jam up slightly, but I've had the same thing happen with other Colts and expensive Colt clones. Must be all that burnt chemical gun power. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has, in my opinion, too much recoil. It has good accuracy for a short barrel gun and is pretty impressive to show to people. Back then I paid around six seventy-five. I'm not a gun expert so I hope this helps. If you like double action this gun is not for you. There are various arrangements for leaving a live round in, but I don't require that feature. Besides, the sound of running the slide back in the course of a self-defense situation could have the effect of causing the aggressor to soil himself.

I bought this for my wife since she does a lot of walking. Have had (1) rape and murder and several attacks on the trail so this is a very good weapon to carry in a fanny pack. I have a Gold Cup and would like to have one of these also. Shoots great! I also put a Crimson Trace laser grip on it for her. Attacker better be careful!

I have carried the 45 Defender almost every day for the past nine years. It is a great carry gun. I have never encountered any malfunction with it. I shoot is at least once a month and keep it clean. Highly recommend. I have carried 1911, Browning Hi-Power, Smith's 38 and 357 duty weapons and Glocks. The 1911 was and is my all time favorite and this is perhaps the most concealable 45 on the market.

I have been informed by law enforcement officer friends that this is a great weapon. I would like to be placed on a list to purchase from you if necessary
