The TAC Ultra CS uses a 3.5-inch, bushing-less bull barrel machined from 4140 ordnance steel. The added weight at the muzzle helps tame recoil while maintaining a compact overall length.
An integral, full-length dust cover with a three-slot Picatinny rail allows direct mounting of weapon lights or lasers without aftermarket parts. The undercut trigger guard and checkered frontstrap improve grip control during rapid strings of fire.
Sights consist of a high-visibility orange fiber-optic front paired with an LPA-style fully adjustable rear, giving the shooter precise control over windage and elevation adjustments. A full-length guide rod supports consistent cycling.
Controls are carry-ready: an ambidextrous thumb safety and extended beavertail grip safety promote positive engagement from either hand. The skeletonized commander-style hammer and skeletonized trigger with over-travel screw shorten lock time and offer a crisp, clean break.
Rounding out the package are aggressively textured black/grey G10 grips that stay secure in wet or gloved hands, and a durable matte black parkerized finish that resists corrosion and glare.
