Lightweight and Durable
Practical Specifications
When carrying a concealed revolver, the enclosed hammer is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Traditional exposed hammers can catch on fabric, holster material, or your own clothing during the draw, potentially creating a dangerous delay when seconds matter. The Off Duty eliminates this risk entirely.
At 12 ounces, this revolver is light enough to carry all day without fatigue, yet substantial enough to deliver reliable .38 Special performance. The 2-inch barrel provides adequate velocity while maintaining a compact profile suitable for deep concealment.
The best defensive firearm is the one you have with you. The Off Duty's combination of reliability, concealability, and minimal weight makes it a revolver you'll genuinely want to carry every day.
