Designed for shooters who favor big-bore performance, the Pitbull fires standard .45 ACP ammunition from a 5-shot stainless cylinder. The unique extractor system securely grabs the cartridge rim and clears spent cases without the need for additional hardware.
A 2.5-inch stainless barrel with a fully shrouded ejector rod keeps overall length to a minimum while protecting critical components from damage. The matte finish reduces glare, and the exposed hammer supports both double-action and single-action firing modes.
Fixed sights consist of a serrated ramp front paired with a square-notch rear, offering a straightforward sight picture that stays zeroed under recoil. The black rubber grip features three finger grooves, delivering secure control and comfort during rapid strings of fire.
At just 22 ounces, the Pitbull is one of the lightest .45 ACP revolvers available. A transfer-bar safety mechanism prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed, adding an extra layer of confidence for daily carry or home defense.
