Unlike the other members of the Witness2311, the Brat has a 3.4-inch barrel. This shortened barrel makes for a more compact and concealable package. But while the barrel may be short, it is not short on capacity. The 9mm version of the Brat holds 17+1 rounds, and the .45 ACP model holds 11+1. It also retains the magazine funnel and beaver tail from the full-size guns. The MSRP is $679, and it is starting to show up at retailers online.
