Key Features
- Lightweight Metal Frame: The aluminum alloy frame reduces overall weight while increasing rigidity — why it matters: less felt recoil and faster target reacquisition for newer shooters.
- Optic-Ready Slide: Factory-milled for red dot sights — why it matters: you can mount your preferred optic without sending the slide to a gunsmith.
- Interchangeable Palmswell Grips: Four sizes (small, medium, medium-large, large) included — why it matters: a custom fit means better trigger reach and control for every hand size.
- 18-Degree Grip Angle: Natural point of aim design — why it matters: helps align sights faster, especially for shooters transitioning from a 1911.
- Two 10-Round Magazines: Includes two flush-fit steel magazines — why it matters: more range time between reloads and a spare for the nightstand.
