What’s Included

- Two 15-round magazines (one Glock factory magazine; one polymer double-stack 9mm magazine, brand not confirmed)
The War Poet slide shows distinctive machining with chevron-style front, rear, and top serrations plus a side window. The slide also carries Shadow Systems gold logo inlays and an optic cut that accepts multiple direct-mount footprints, with the rear sight positioned on the cover plate for a clean, serviceable setup.
Its threaded 4.5 in barrel comes capped with a faceted thread protector, pairing practical suppressed-ready threading with a refined, angular look. The barrel length and compact profile deliver an easy-to-handle balance for a 9mm defensive-size pistol.
Elevated steel iron sights provide a bright yellow front dot and a black serrated rear, offering a crisp sight picture that remains visible over the slide’s window and machining. The co-witness-height profile complements the slide’s direct-mount optic cut configuration.
The polymer frame features wrap-around texturing, a trigger-guard undercut, and an accelerator pad to aid control. An accessory rail, slightly flared magwell, and Glock 19-pattern magazine compatibility support straightforward setup and 15+1 capacity.
The flat-faced trigger and trigger safety align with the pistol’s striker-fired, semi-automatic action for a consistent pull. Marked Made in USA, this MR920 War Poet packages practical features with clean execution throughout.
