The Taurus Public Defender in .45 Colt/.410 is built on a polymer frame with a 2″ barrel and 5-round capacity, offering remarkable versatility in a compact, lightweight design. The Flat Dark Earth finish paired with a matte Stainless Steel cylinder creates a durable and visually distinctive appearance. Bright orange fiber optic front and adjustable rear sights enable fast and accurate target acquisition even in low light situations, while a transfer bar safety prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
The ability to fire both .45 Colt and .410 shotshells makes this one of the most versatile handguns available. Whether for personal defense, hunting, or backcountry protection, this revolver adapts to your needs without requiring a reload—simply carry your preferred mix of ammunition in the cylinder. A bobbed hammer and smooth ergonomic design make it easy to conceal and draw, while ribbed rubber grips help manage recoil for greater control and a more comfortable shooting experience.
The Taurus Public Defender is a scaled-down version of the Taurus Judge, featuring a lighter polymer body frame with updates for improved handling and accuracy. TSS (Taurus Security System) allows the firearm to be locked without an external locking device, adding a modern security layer to this proven defensive platform.
