The Gen4 nitride finish gives both slide and frame a deep matte black look while adding exceptional corrosion resistance over the forged stainless base metal.
Frontstrap and mainspring housing wear Ed Brown’s proprietary Chainlink III machining, providing a secure, non-abrasive grip without the snag risk of traditional checkering.
Fixed Trijicon 3-dot tritium sights offer a bright sight picture day or night, and the low-mount rear avoids sharp edges for comfortable carry.
Performance parts include a skeletonized aluminum trigger tuned to break between 4 and 5 pounds, a Commander-style skeletonized hammer, and an extended beavertail grip safety blended seamlessly to the frame.
An integral beveled magwell speeds reloads while maintaining a clean profile, and the recessed slide-stop pin keeps the left side of the frame sleek.
