Key Features
Dual-Caliber Capability
Chambered for both .45 Long Colt and .410 shotshells (2.5-inch), the Cowboy Defender provides immediate tactical adaptability. This caliber combination facilitates engagement across varied threat profiles, from close-quarters defense with shotshell dispersion to precise projectile delivery with the .45LC cartridge. The interchangeable barrel system further expands its utility, allowing for future caliber conversions as operational requirements evolve.
Robust Stainless Steel Construction
The frame and barrels are precision-machined from high-grade stainless steel. This material selection provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity, mitigating wear under consistent use and harsh environmental conditions. The robust construction ensures long-term reliability and maintains critical tolerances, contributing to consistent performance.
Integrated Safety Mechanisms
The Cowboy Defender incorporates a comprehensive suite of safety features designed to prevent unintentional discharge while facilitating rapid deployment. These include a rebounding hammer, retracting firing pins, and a cross-bolt safety. A spring-loaded cammed locking lever maintains positive barrel-to-frame lockup, enhancing operational security and shot consistency.
Ergonomics and Handling
Equipped with standard rosewood grips, the Cowboy Defender provides a secure and tactile purchase. The grip geometry is optimized for positive control, enhancing shot placement capability despite its compact footprint. The trigger system is designed for a consistent pull, enabling precise engagement.
