Troy Defender PSW (Personal Survival Weapon)
Troy Industries · Carbine · In Production · 2025
Overview
The Troy Defender PSW (Personal Survival Weapon) is a compact, suppressed short-barreled carbine engineered for discreet self-defense and close-quarters tactical use. It rides on a 7.5-inch barrel chambered in 5.56 NATO or 300 AAC Blackout and integrates the TROY TPRS suppressor and flash hider with a proprietary PSW gas-diverting system fed through Troy's Pneuma gas-diverting charging handle, delivering best-in-class sound suppression while minimizing gas blowback to the shooter. The rifle uses the patent-pending TROY 12-inch SOCC SURG M-LOK rail and folds to just 22 inches collapsed thanks to the TROY PDW Tomahawk folding stock, extending to 28 inches deployed. It includes Troy folding BattleSights, the Super Grade trigger group with nickel-Teflon plating, a padded T-Sling, and ships in a discreet 29-inch nylon rifle case. Offered in black and Flat Dark Earth.

The PSW concept revives the 'personal survival weapon' idea of a maximally compact, suppressed carbine that can be stowed in a backpack or vehicle and deployed quickly, echoing programs such as the Air Force GUU-5 survival rifle lineage that Troy has long referenced.
