Key Features
- Polished DLC Finish – This hard, slick coating resists wear, corrosion, and dirt. Why it matters: you spend less time cleaning and more time shooting with your family.
- Ultra Match 416R Barrel – A button-rifled, 5″ threaded barrel with 1:10 twist. Why it matters: it delivers consistent accuracy for practice or competition, and the threads let you add a suppressor or compensator.
- RMSc Optics Cut – The slide is pre-milled for micro red dot sights. Why it matters: beginners and experienced shooters alike acquire targets faster, making range trips more enjoyable.
- Double Stack Magazine (17 & 20 Rounds) – Includes one 17-round and one 20-round magazine. Why it matters: more rounds between reloads means less downtime, especially for new shooters learning the ropes.
- Ambidextrous Safety & Extended Controls – Ambidextrous thumb safety, extended slide release, and flared magwell. Why it matters: left-handed or right-handed shooters can operate the gun naturally, and the magwell speeds up reloads.
