Any info or opinions on the Colt Defenders? I'm looking at finding one of these for a concealed carry.

Thanks

Great gun for concealed carry, similar in size and weight of the Kimber Ultra CDPII. I just sold one of these (NIB) last week. Something to be aware of...Colt has issued a factory recall on the safety for this model sold after March 2007 in the following serial number range: DR33036 - DR35948 X. Colt will send you a new recoil spring assembly kit that includes the Guide Pad to replace in your pistol.

If you are looking for a 9mm, then the recall does not effect you. Just incase you were going that route.

I have one a d it is a little iffy with hollow points...and only hollow points. Could just be mine being finicky though

It started life as a 9mm; I swapped out the barrel fo a Bar Sto .38 Super and bought .38 Super magazines from Wilson. It's a great gun; compact, lightweight, and easy to carry. Best of all, it's a Colt.

I had to polish the feed ramp on my Colt Defender to make it reliably feed hollow point ammo. Great gun. 22.5 oz. unloaded, holds 7+1 rounds of .45 ACP, accepts Crimson Trace lasergrips. I use the Wilson Combat magazines. Accurate, reliable, small and light enough to be easy to carry, yet enough mass to it that shooting .454 ACP is no problem.

Oh man I am getting an itch for one of these and it gets worse every day

A defender is on my wish list as well...
