Design and Features

Built around a lightweight anodized aluminum frame, the Boxer delivers a balance of durability and carry comfort. The 2.2″ barrel keeps overall length compact for concealment while still providing a sight radius that helps with precision at typical self-defense ranges. The six-round capacity is notable for a single-action platform, giving added margin compared to traditional five-shots in many small-frame revolvers.

Sights, Grip, and Finish

Front fiber optic sight improves front-end acquisition in low-light and daylight, a practical upgrade for quick target alignment. Rubber grips mitigate muzzle flip and improve control during follow-up shots, and the anodized finish resists wear while keeping weight low—important for daily carry or back-up roles.

Caliber Advantages and Ballistics

.38 Special remains a proven defensive caliber: manageable recoil, broad ammunition availability, and effective terminal performance with modern defensive loads. Its controllability in a compact, six-shot single-action platform like the Boxer makes follow-up shots faster and more accurate, especially for shooters prioritizing precision in tight environments.
