Charles Daly & CD Defense Lines Return To American Marketplace

Distribution will be by Trans World Arms LLC of Harrisburg, PA.

TWA President Michael Kassnar said the CD Defense product line will include six modern sporting rifle and carbine models, a trio of new shotguns and several handguns, including three all-steel models and six pistols with polymer frames in two versions, a full-size and a compact in 9 mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP.

"We're really excited about serving American shooters once again with quality firearms under the Charles Daly and CD Defense brands," Kassnar said. "Shooters familiar with these firearms lines can rest assured that they are as rugged and reliable as ever."

Of particular interest is a new shotgun entry in the home defense arena, the 12-gauge iTAC tactical shotgun with an inertia-driven action and rotating bolt design, synthetic pistol grip stock, ghost ring sight and Picatinny rail. Kassnar said it is chambered for 3-inch magnums, has an 18.5-inch barrel and durable matte finish. The other two CD Defense models are both pump-action shotguns, chambered for 12-gauge, 3-inch magnums.

TWA acquired the license to market under the Charles Daly and CD Defense trademarks, enabling the company to re-introduce the Charles Daly and bring back the CD Defense line.

"We will be exhibiting at the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas," Kassnar confirmed, "so retailers can examine the entire CD Defense™ line." The new website at www.TransWorldArms.com will launch just prior to the show.
