H12 Protector Carbine

.357 Mag/.38 Spl, .44 Mag/Spl,

Built to be Ready

The H12 Protector Carbine is built to live close at hand.

Compact, capable, and easy to carry, it takes the familiar lines of a traditional lever action and reshapes them into a configuration meant for everyday readiness. With its 16.5″ barrel, threaded muzzle, pistol-grip walnut stock, and ventilated recoil pad, the H12 Protector Carbine is designed to be practical, dependable, and always within reach.

This shorter configuration makes the rifle quicker to shoulder, easier to maneuver, and more comfortable to carry in tight spaces. Whether it’s riding in a truck, leaning by the back door, or slung while walking fence lines, it feels like a tool meant to be used, not stored.

The threaded muzzle allows for suppressor use, helping reduce blast and soften the recoil impulse. This makes the rifle more comfortable to shoot, less disruptive around buildings or livestock, and easier on the ears. It’s a feature chosen for usability, not flash.

Chambered in pistol calibers, the H12 Protector Carbine offers mild recoil, fast follow-up shots, and economical shooting. The .357 Magnum/.38 Special pairing is exceptionally versatile, allowing everything from low-recoil practice to serious field performance. The .44 Magnum/.44 Special option delivers more authority while maintaining manageable recoil and compact handling.

The pistol-grip stock provides a secure, comfortable hold, improving control in quick, close-range scenarios. The ventilated rubber recoil pad helps absorb impact and reduce fatigue during extended use, making the rifle more pleasant to carry and shoot over long periods.

Though it is designed with modern needs in mind, the H12 Protector Carbine still looks and feels like a classic lever gun. Its blued steel finish and walnut furniture give it a timeless appearance that fits naturally into rural life, on a homestead, or in a working environment.

Fully adjustable sights allow for precise zeroing, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optional optics mounting. Sling swivel studs come installed, because a rifle meant to be carried should not require modification before it can be used.

The H12 Protector Carbine is not built for display. It is built to stand ready for your property protection, pest control, and peace of mind. It is the kind of rifle that becomes part of daily life, not a special occasion. Quietly capable. Dependably close. Always ready.
