IFG Defiant Stock I Features

Derived from the popular CZ 75 platform, the Defiant Stock I maintains the CZ‘s internal slide rails. “The result of the internal slides is a reliable workhorse system that keep out dirt and debris better than external slides,” IFG said in a press release.

The Defiant Stock I uses a traditionally-rifled, cylindrical barrel that provides excellent accuracy with all types of ammunition. Also, the pistol’s frame features a full-length railed dust cover for a better balance. Additionally, the pistol is available in both small and large frame variants, according to IFG.

The pistol I features stippled walnut side panels for solid purchase, and extended beavertail, and a checkered frame and backstrap. Meanwhile, slide serrations aid in manual of arms. Additionally, the rear sight is drift adjustable, while the rear notch is large, delivering a solid sighting system, according to IFG.

The Defiant Stock I operates in single and double action. Finally, calibers include 9mm, .38 Super, .40 S&W, 10mm and .45 ACP.
