Taurus Public Defender: Hand Cannon I Can Get Behind
The Taurus Public Defender is reviewed as a capable 'hand cannon' for specific niche roles, particularly for carjacking defense or as a rural 'snake gun'. While versatile with .45 Colt and .410 ammunition, its significant width (36mm) hinders concealed carry. The polymer-framed version (23 oz) is recommended over the steel (28 oz) for carry, despite snappier recoil. It's deemed less suitable for bear defense compared to a 10mm Glock 20.
