The Dan Wesson Guardian: Concealed Carry Excellence
Dan Wesson engineered the Guardian by taking the best features from their most popular models and distilling them into a single, purpose-built concealed carry platform. The result is a 1911 that balances shootability with wearability—no small feat.
Design and Construction
The Guardian features a Commander-length slide paired with a bobbed mainspring housing, creating a profile that sits low and tight against the body. The aluminum frame keeps overall weight to a minimum, making it the lightest 1911 in the Dan Wesson lineup. This weight reduction matters during a full day of carry—your belt and back will thank you.

- Duty Black finish on the slide for a professional appearance
