The Tanfoglio Defiant Stock Master delivers precision competition performance with its hard chrome finish and extended 17+1 capacity in 38 Super. This full-size pistol combines Italian craftsmanship with tactical reliability for serious shooters demanding accuracy and durability.
What Makes This Different
The hard chrome finish provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces friction for smoother cycling compared to standard blued steel frames. The 38 Super caliber offers flatter trajectory and higher velocity than 9mm while maintaining manageable recoil. Extended grip accommodates the high-capacity magazine while maintaining proper hand positioning for consistent shot placement.
