Built from stainless steel, the Big Bear CA features a robust construction that resists corrosion and withstands the rigors of daily carry and emergency deployment. The 3-inch barrel provides optimal velocity and accuracy for the .45 Colt cartridge while maintaining the compact profile necessary for concealment—weighing just 1.3 pounds, it's easily the lightest backup option available. A simple front blade sight enables quick target acquisition in close-quarter scenarios, while the two-round capacity and single-action mechanism deliver positive, intentional trigger control.
