Custom Shop Competition Design

The stainless steel construction provides durability while maintaining a classic competition aesthetic.

.45 ACP Match Performance

Chambered in .45 ACP, this pistol is tuned for controlled, deliberate accuracy rather than defensive carry. The National Match barrel enhances inherent mechanical precision, making it well-suited for formal competition stages and precision shooting.

Sight and Barrel System

A Novak fiber optic front sight provides fast visual acquisition, while the Bomar-style adjustable rear sight allows fine-tuning for windage and elevation—an essential feature for competitive accuracy.

Ergonomics and Control Features

The 25 LPI front strap checkering and VZ G10 grips work together to provide a secure, non-slip shooting platform. The fully blended magwell improves reload speed and consistency during competition strings.
