I bought myself the Texas Defender in 22 mag and got the .45 /410 barrel. I have shot both barrels and I am a small frame woman with small hands and most guns I have used really hurt my hands . Of course the 22 mag barrel was ever so sweet to shoot . The 410 barrel was a little rougher but not so bad that I wouldn’t want to shoot it again ( like my bodyguard S & W 380) Everyone that has seen this gun thinks it is the coolest ever and that in turn makes me cool too!
