The Dan Wesson Guardian pistol in black with a 4.25-inch barrel and 9-round capacity (brand part no. 01828) combines the best features of the Bobtail Commander and CCO models into a single concealable 1911. Dan Wesson builds the pistol with an anodized aluminum bobtail frame and an aluminum mainspring housing to reduce printing under concealment, while the alloy frame keeps the pistol light enough for comfortable all-day carry. The Duty Black finished, Commander-length slide pairs with wood grips and fixed front and rear night sights for reliable low-light aiming, and the safety is an ambidextrous manual thumb and grip safety. Among concealable 1911 semi-auto handguns, this Guardian configuration favors shooters who want a lightweight, low-profile carry 1911.
