Pevely, MO (FirearmsGuide.com) - Heizer Defense, known for their innovative line of powerful pocket pistols, is pleased to add their first semi-automatic pistol to the product line, the PKO-45.

Heizer Defense introduced the PKO-45 to the public at the recent NRA Show in Louisville, KY & the Concealed Carry Expo in Atlanta, GA with great fanfare. Heizer Defense was also Live-Fire Shooting Range sponsor for the show, which allowed consumers to test-fire the PKO-45 at the expo's mobile shooting range.

The PKO-45 or Pocket 45, is the slimmest semi-auto .45ACP on the market at just 0.8" wide and approximately 25 ounces.  The PKO-45 is made with 100% US Aerospace grade stainless steel. There are no plastic or mimed parts on the PKO-45. It boasts a revolutionary fixed-barrel-under-the-guide-rod configuration, resulting in less recoil felt by the operator.

The PKO-45 also features a snag-free design, internal hammer/single action, and a front strap safety with an additional thumb ambi-safety.  It has 5+1 capacity with a flush magazine, and 7+1 capacity with the extended magazine.

This new pistol will be available for purchase in September 2016.
