Tactical Design and Purpose

This model is built for defensive and duty use, with features that prioritize speed, control, and reliability. The integrated rail allows attachment of tactical accessories, making it suitable for low-light environments and professional applications.

The 9mm chambering provides lower recoil than .45 ACP, improving control during rapid fire and extended shooting sessions.

Enhanced Control and Handling

The undercut trigger guard and upswept beavertail grip safety allow for a higher grip on the frame, reducing muzzle flip and improving recoil management. Combined with 25 LPI front strap checkering, the pistol maintains a secure grip under stress or adverse conditions.

The dual recoil spring system further reduces felt recoil and improves long-term durability of the recoil assembly.

Sight System

Novak night sights are designed for low-light visibility and fast target acquisition, supporting defensive readiness in varied lighting conditions.

Construction and Finish

The black nitride finish enhances corrosion resistance and wear durability, making the pistol well-suited for hard use environments. The steel construction adds weight that helps stabilize recoil in the lighter 9mm chambering.
