The Defense
The Victory Arms Defense and Defense Professional series handguns are the strongest and most advanced series of production concealed carry weapons on the market today. The 6+1, .45 ACP Defense series pistol from Victory Arms carries the knock down power of a .45 built into a tight, lightweight, compact carry size of a snubnose. It is the only concealed carry you will need to quickly and effectively neutralize threats.
With a frame and slide precision machined from the highest quality stainless steel castings and bar stock; combined with stainless steel springs and internal parts; the Defense and Defense Professional, like all models in the Victory Arms lineup, are the most corrosion resistant weapons available to you. Equipped with thick or thin, crack resistant linen micarta grips, the Defense series pistol is an unbeatable package. Through hot and cold, dry and wet; the Defense and Defense Professional will continue to function as smoothly, and as accurately as the first shot you fired.
The Defense and Defense Professional both come standard with a 3 1/2 inch, fluted stainless steel barrel. Combine this with hand fitting throughout, tuned trigger and extractor tension, and you have increased weapon accuracy, reliability and longevity. Unlike the competition which recommends and may even require a recoil spring replacement at 600-800 rounds, the Victory Arms Defense and Defense Professional advanced 3 spring recoil system will last the life of your gun - never needing replacement.
When it comes time to clean your Defense or Defense Professional, you only need a few minutes. With our innovative captive recoil system you don't need a fancy bent paperclip, everything stays put so springs and caps don't fly out and get lost. All you need to field strip your Victory Arms are your hands. With a clean rag and a few drops of good quality lube you will find your Defense or Defense Professional not only cleaned, but also back together and ready to go.
For those who carry the Defense, you will have combat sights for quick target acquisition, as well as a beavertail to eliminate hammer bite. For those who require the ultimate in concealed carry, the sightless Professional offers a unique design and shape which angles the rear of the slide while reducing the footprint and weight of the gun. Both the Defense and Defense Professional offer smooth de-horned edges to ensure a clean, snag free touch to clothes and skin.
