Key Features
- Integral Compensator & Ported Barrel: Why it matters – The compensator and ported barrel reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil, helping you keep your sights on target for faster, more accurate follow-up shots, especially important for new shooters building confidence.
- Factory-Installed Viridian RFX11 Green-Dot Optic: Why it matters – No need to buy and mount a separate red dot; the RFX11 is pre-zeroed and ready to use, giving you a clear aiming point that speeds up target acquisition for both range practice and home defense.
- Fully Ambidextrous Controls: Why it matters – Slide stop, magazine release, and thumb safety are operable from either side, making this pistol a natural fit for left-handed shooters or family members who need to share the same firearm.
- Interchangeable Backstraps: Why it matters – Three different backstrap sizes let you adjust the grip to match your hand size, improving comfort and control for everyone in the family, from teens to adults.
- Gear-Pac Package with Multiple Magazines: Why it matters – You get extra magazines and the Viridian optic included in one box, saving you money and time compared to buying accessories separately.
