This Scorpion Elite variant features a milled stainless slide coated in durable Flat Dark Earth, matched to an FDE anodized aluminum frame. The slide’s front and rear cocking serrations, plus diagonal relief cuts, provide positive grip during press checks and manipulations.
The compact 3.9 inch barrel and external rounded hammer make the pistol well-balanced for concealed or duty carry. An extended beavertail aids high-grip control while protecting the shooter’s hand during rapid strings.
Its DA/SA system includes Sig’s short-reset trigger and frame-mounted decocker, giving the shooter a smooth double-action first pull followed by quick, consistent single-action shots. Tritium 3-dot SIGLITE sights deliver fast sight acquisition in low light.
