The modern defensive rifle must balance compact geometry with controllable ergonomics and repeatable accuracy. For operators and responsible citizens seeking a short overall length without sacrificing sight radius or accessory options, the next-generation bullpup platform addresses those demands with purpose-built upgrades.

IWI US TAVOR arrives as a refined iteration of the original Tavor SAR, blending proven bullpup layout with targeted user-driven improvements. The X95-derived enhancements include a new fire control pack with a heavier 56 lb trigger pull, repositioned ambidextrous magazine release to an AR-15-style location, a forearm with Picatinny rails at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions (with removable rail covers), a charging handle relocated closer to center mass, a modular Tavor-style pistol grip that can be swapped to a standard pistol grip with a traditional trigger guard, and a smaller, lower-profile bolt release button.

Ergonomic and Control Upgrades

The updated fire control pack with a 56 lb trigger pull is designed for defensive reliability and safe handling under stress. The heavier pull reduces the chance of inadvertent discharge in dynamic environments while maintaining a defined break for follow-up shots.

Ambidextrous Handling

Relocating the ambidextrous mag release to an AR-15 position simplifies magazine changes for users accustomed to AR controls. Combined with the charging handle moved closer to center mass, these changes make manipulation more intuitive and reduce movement off target during reloads and malfunctions.

Modular Grip and Controls

The modular Tavor-style grip accepts a conversion to a standard pistol grip with a traditional trigger guard, offering adaptability for different hand sizes and mission roles. The smaller, lower-profile bolt release further streamlines handling and prevents snags on gear.

Accessory Readiness and Value

The integrated forearm with Picatinny rails at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock allows immediate mounting of lights, lasers, foregrips, and bipods while removable rail covers keep the profile clean when not in use. As a Semi Auto in the Iwi family and listed with a price of $1749.99, this platform offers a feature-rich option for those prioritizing compact defensive rifles. View product details and pricing
