Dan Wesson Guardian 45 ACP 4.25" 8+1 Semi-Auto Pistol

The Dan Wesson Guardian is a 1911-style single-action semi-auto pistol chambered in .45 ACP, designed as the lightest Commander-platform carry gun in the Dan Wesson lineup. It pairs a 4.25-inch stainless steel barrel with a black duty-finished stainless steel slide wearing aggressive vertical serrations for easy manipulation, while a black anodized aluminum bobtail frame with a bobbed mainspring housing and a built-in beavertail keeps the grip profile short and printable for everyday concealed carry.

Feeding from an 8+1-round single-stack magazine, the Guardian uses a crisp SAO trigger pull and a true ambidextrous thumb safety mated to an ambidextrous grip safety for confident handling by both right- and left-handed shooters. Fixed tritium night sights are installed for low-light indexing, and the pistol wears a set of classic textured wood grips that complement the matte black finish for an understated, duty-ready look.

Reimagined as a modern carry pistol that mates a Commander-length slide to a bobtail Commander frame, the Guardian ships in new condition and is set up right out of the box for range duty or concealed carry.
