Compact semi-automatic pistols tailored for household defense need to balance size, controllability, and reliability. For homeowners who prioritize concealability without sacrificing handling, a well-maintained certified used option can deliver high performance at a lower cost than new models.

This particular example ships with one 8-round magazine, one 6-round magazine, the original box, and a safety.
