Hackathorn Special Commander

Renowned firearms trainer and small-arms consultant Ken Hackathorn drew upon decades of practical experience and his vast collection of custom handguns to develop the “Hackathorn Special.” The Commander size version of the Hackathorn Special is geared towards the needs of the concealed carrier who prefers this model's shorter 4.25” bushing barrel and full-size frame.The one piece Bullet Proof® magwell, concealment hammer/grip safety, and the versatile medium-length trigger were personally selected by Ken as the best for his needs and are standard on this pistol.
