The Security configuration pairs an 18.5 inch plain barrel with a brass bead front sight for fast alignment at defensive distances. The magazine tube stops short of the muzzle and uses a knurled cap, and capacity is 5+1 with 2-3/4 inch shells. Chambering supports both 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch loads for flexible ammunition choices.
