Key Features
- Stainless Double Barrel Construction — WHY IT MATTERS: This gives you corrosion resistance and durability for all-weather carry, whether you’re in a humid swamp or dry desert.

New shooters will appreciate the simple break-action and the ability to start with .410 shotshells for less recoil. Experienced shooters and hunters will value the .45 Colt option for trail carry or as a deep-concealment piece. It’s also a solid choice for folks who want a small gun that doesn’t compromise on caliber.
Pros/Cons
- Pro: Compact and lightweight—21 oz unloaded, easy to pocket or pack in a chest holster.
- Pro: Dual-caliber capability lets you train with .45 Colt and carry .410 for close encounters.
- Con: The 3-inch barrel limits accuracy at longer ranges—this is a 5- to 10-yard gun for self-defense, not a target pistol.
