Why Choose the Defender 856?
The ultra-lightweight aluminum frame keeps this revolver at just 16 ounces, making it ideal for concealed carry without sacrificing shootability. The small frame fits naturally in the hand while remaining controllable during rapid fire.
Night sights allow you to engage targets in low-light conditions—a critical feature for defensive use. The Hogue rubber grips provide positive control and reduce felt recoil, while the matte stainless finish resists corrosion and requires minimal maintenance.
The double/single action trigger allows you to carry safely with the hammer down while still delivering fast, accurate follow-up shots when needed. This is a revolver that works when it matters most.
