Controls are straightforward and purposeful: a cross-bolt manual safety, a low rear-grip push-button magazine release, and an exposed spur hammer. Fixed iron sights consist of a front blade and a dovetailed rear notch.
The pistol carries a uniform blued finish over its full-size frame and slide, with black ribbed grip panels that provide a secure hold. A lanyard ring at the heel adds a practical attachment point where desired.
