Dan Wesson Guardian 45ACP 4.25″ 8RD Wood Grip

The Dan Wesson Guardian combines the compact dimensions of a Bobtail Commander with the concealed-carry-focused features of a CCO-style platform. Chambered in .45 ACP, this single-action-only 1911 features a lightweight alloy frame, Commander-length 4.25-inch barrel, and black Duty finish for a durable, understated appearance.

The Guardian’s anodized aluminum bobtail frame and aluminum mainspring housing help reduce weight and printing when carried concealed. A Commander-length slide, ambidextrous manual/grip safety, wood grips, and fixed night sights complete a balanced configuration designed for comfortable everyday carry.

Benefits

• Lightweight Carry Design — The alloy frame and aluminum mainspring housing reduce overall weight for comfortable extended carry.
• Compact Commander Configuration — The 4.25-inch barrel and bobtail frame provide a compact profile while retaining the familiar 1911 format.
• Enhanced Low-Light Sight Picture — Fixed night sights provide a useful aiming reference in reduced-light conditions.

Features

• 4.25″ Commander-Length Barrel — The shorter barrel provides a compact configuration well suited to the Guardian’s carry-oriented design.
• Anodized Aluminum Bobtail Frame — The lightweight alloy frame helps reduce weight and the bobtail profile helps minimize printing.
• Black Duty Finish — The black Duty finish gives the Commander-length slide and alloy frame a subdued, durable appearance.
• Ambidextrous Manual/Grip Safety — The dual-sided safety configuration provides an added level of control while accommodating either hand.

Additional highlights include a lightweight aluminum mainspring housing, wood grips, fixed night sights, single-action-only operation, and an 8+1 capacity.
