The LW-prefix serial number denotes the forged lightweight alloy frame, trimming weight without sacrificing strength. Combined with a 4.25-inch match-grade, fully ramped stainless barrel, the pistol balances quickly and carries comfortably.
Its black Cerakote-finished slide features forward and rear cocking serrations, a lowered and flared ejection port, and the Agency Optic System cut that accepts the included mounting plate for popular micro red-dot sights.
An integral three-slot Picatinny rail on the dust cover lets you mount lights or lasers, while the textured tan G10 grips ensure a positive hold in any condition.
Controls are 1911-familiar yet modernized: ambidextrous thumb safeties, a beavertail grip safety with memory bump, a skeletonized hammer, and a match-tuned skeletonized trigger combine for a crisp single-action pull and confident handling.
