Looking for a solid .45 ACP that carries comfortably? The Dan Wesson Guardian is built to be a daily-driver handgun – good for concealed carry, home defense, or a trip to the range. It takes the best parts of Dan Wesson’s Bobtail Commander and CCO designs and puts them into one package.
What Sets the Guardian Apart
The Guardian is designed around comfortable carry. The anodized aluminum frame and aluminum mainspring housing help minimize printing under clothes, a real concern for Texas residents who choose to exercise their right to carry. The alloy frame keeps the weight down, meaning you won’t be fighting the gun all day, but it still delivers the stopping power of a .45 ACP.
