The 5.5" bull barrel uses a carbon-steel sleeve over a steel liner to balance weight and rigidity, helping the pistol stay steady during slow-fire strings. The barrel and rail form a single assembly that detaches with a front push-button, streamlining cleaning and barrel swaps.
An integral Weaver rail runs the full length of the barrel, complete with cross-slots, so adding a red dot or scope requires no additional mounts. For those who prefer irons, the pistol comes with a Patridge-style front sight and a fully adjustable square-notch rear sight.
The black-anodized aluminum-alloy frame keeps total weight manageable without sacrificing durability. Laminated hardwood target grips with inlaid S&W medallions offer a firm, hand-filling hold that complements the pistol’s full-size profile.
Safety is handled by a manual thumb safety, magazine disconnect, and internal firing pin block. The straight-blowback, single-action mechanism delivers a consistent, light trigger pull ideal for precise rimfire work.
