Competition-Driven Design
This pistol is optimized for timed shooting disciplines where speed and consistency matter. The National Match barrel enhances precision, while the dual recoil spring system helps reduce felt recoil and supports faster target recovery between shots.
The Series 70 firing system provides a clean, crisp trigger pull favored in competition environments.
9mm Performance Advantage
Chambered in 9mm Luger, this model offers lower recoil compared to .45 ACP variants, allowing faster follow-up shots and improved control during rapid fire sequences. This makes it particularly well-suited for competitive shooting applications.
Ergonomics and Control Features
The undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail grip safety allow a higher grip on the frame, improving recoil management and reducing muzzle rise.
G10 scalloped grips provide a secure, aggressive texture for consistent handling under dynamic shooting conditions.
Sight System
Novak 3-dot sights provide a clear and familiar sight picture, supporting both fast target acquisition and precision aiming depending on the stage or shooting scenario.
