Key Features
- 6-Inch Barrel – The longer barrel increases muzzle velocity and sight radius, giving you tighter groups at distance and better energy transfer on game.
- G10 Grip with Beavertail Safety – The textured G10 grip locks your hand in place, while the beavertail prevents slide bite and encourages a high, consistent hold for faster follow-ups.
- Adjustable Sights – Windage and elevation adjustments let you zero in exactly for your preferred load, whether you’re shooting paper or chasing hogs.
- Hard Chrome Serrated Slide – The serrations give you a sure grip for press checks or slide manipulation, and the hard chrome finish resists corrosion and holster wear.
- Steel Frame – A solid steel foundation tames the 10mm’s recoil and adds durability for a lifetime of heavy use.
