Key Features
- Full Conical Bull Barrel with Polygonal Rifling — Why it matters: The longer barrel and polygonal rifling improve accuracy and barrel lockup, helping you place tighter groups at competition distances.
- Lightened Slide — Why it matters: Faster cycle times mean quicker follow-up shots, especially important in timed shooting events.
- Ambidextrous Extended Thumb Safeties — Why it matters: Left-handed or right-handed, you can engage the safety without breaking your grip — a real plus for family shooters sharing the same gun.
- Fiber Optic Front Sight with Adjustable SuperSight Rear — Why it matters: Bright fiber optic front picks up fast in varied lighting, and the fully adjustable rear lets you dial in elevation and windage for your specific load.
- Double/Single Action Operation — Why it matters: The first shot can be fired in double action for an extra safety margin, then follow-ups are crisp single action — a classic setup that many competition shooters trust.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for competitive shooters, especially those in USPSA, IPSC, or steel challenge divisions. It also suits experienced family shooters who want a dedicated range or match gun with adjustable sights and a reliable action. Beginners will appreciate the consistent trigger and easy-to-see front sight, though the double-action first pull does require some practice.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Excellent accuracy from the bull barrel; hard chrome finish resists corrosion; ambidextrous controls fit both hands; includes two magazines; adjustable rear sight for fine-tuning.
- Cons: The double-action trigger pull on the first shot is heavier than some competitors’ single-action-only designs; the hard chrome finish, while durable, can show holster wear over time — that’s cosmetic, not functional.
