Key Features
- Modular Ergonomic Grip System — Why it matters: You can swap backstraps and side panels to match your hand size, improving recoil control and accuracy without buying a new gun.

- 3.85-Inch Cold Hammer Forged Barrel — Why it matters: This barrel construction delivers consistent accuracy and long service life, even with high-round-count training.
- 10-Round Magazine Capacity — Why it matters: Compliant in restricted states while still offering a reliable 9mm platform for concealed carry or home defense.

Pros / Cons
