• Olive Drab Green Cerakote Finish — Why it matters: This durable, corrosion-resistant coating provides a unique look while protecting the slide from holster wear and the elements.
• Two 10-Round Magazines — Why it matters: You get a spare magazine right out of the box, giving you 20 rounds total for extended range sessions or defensive readiness.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Slim design, front rail for lights, optics-ready slide, durable Cerakote finish, two magazines included, reliable GLOCK action.
