Key Features
- Optic-Ready Slide — Why it matters: Mount your favorite red dot without expensive milling, saving time and money while keeping the slide strong.
- Match-Grade Trigger — Why it matters: A crisp, clean break with a short reset means faster follow-up shots and tighter groups, especially under pressure.
- Beveled Mag Well — Why it matters: Smooth, fast reloads even when your hands are sweaty or you’re moving, reducing fumbles during competition.
- 18-Round Capacity — Why it matters: More rounds between reloads means more time focusing on targets, not on the mag pouch.
- Match Disassembly Latch — Why it matters: Quick takedown without tools makes cleaning and maintenance simple, even for newer shooters.
