This is an early-production, OMC-marked Back Up with El Monte, California rollmarks from the late 1970s/early 1980s. It carries the original single-action, hammer-fired configuration and retains the micro footprint that defined the model.
The pistol is built from stainless steel with a matte/bead-blast frame and stainless slide. It measures approximately 5 in overall length, weighs about 18 oz, and uses a 2.5 in fixed barrel to enhance consistency within its straight-blowback system.
Controls and features include a smooth-face, curved trigger; a manual safety and a grip safety; and a top-ejecting slide with wide rear cocking serrations. Capacity is 6+1 with the included single-stack magazine.
Sighting is straightforward and snag-resistant, with a small integral front blade and a trench-style rear. Glossy hardwood grip panels complete the classic stainless pocket-pistol look and feel.
