FORGED ALUMINUM STRENGTH
The SDR-A uses a forged 7075-T6 aluminum frame to reduce weight while maintaining rigidity under recoil. Combined with a stainless steel cylinder and barrel, it delivers long-term durability in a lightweight package.
SUPERIOR CONTROL
A hammerless double-action trigger gives a consistent pull on every shot. The 9 to 11.5-pound trigger is tuned for smooth travel and predictable break, supporting accurate, repeatable performance under stress.
ENHANCED SIGHTS
Fiber optic orange front and low-profile green rear sights offer fast target acquisition in varied lighting while remaining snag-resistant for concealed carry.
SIX-ROUND CAPACITY
Unlike many lightweight defensive revolvers, the SDR-A carries six rounds of .38 SPL +P, offering more capability without noticeable bulk.
The SDR-A is engineered for practical defense. Its lightweight aluminum frame and compact profile make it easy to carry daily without fatigue. Fiber optic sights give shooters an immediate visual reference, supporting faster alignment during defensive drills or low-light situations.
With stainless steel components and a corrosion-resistant finish, the SDR-A is built for regular range time and hard outdoor environments. For those who prefer the simplicity and reliability of a revolver, the SDR-A offers modern performance in a lightweight, familiar form.
