- Optics-Ready Slide with Melonite Finish – The slide is machined from billet steel and finished with Melonite for corrosion resistance. If you want to swap optics later, you can without buying a new slide.
- Medium Grip Module – The polymer grip fits a wide range of hand sizes, making it a great choice for teaching beginners or youth shooters.
