This entry details the California Arms Co. Defiance, a rare 20-gauge pistol-shotgun from the late 1920s. Expert Ian McCollum highlights its unique 'anti-bandit' design, dual-barrel configuration, and integrated shell storage. The Defiance was designed for both buckshot and tear gas, though the latter proved less effective. It's noted for its robust cast aluminum grip and steel construction, distinguishing it from contemporaries. Today, it falls under NFA regulations as a Short Barreled Shotgun.
