It uses a blowback, single-action operating system. Controls include a heel-release magazine catch, a manual safety, and a magazine disconnect. Sighting is straightforward with a fixed integral front blade and a fixed rear notch.
Slide features include rear serrations for purchase and a longitudinal anti-glare rib along the top. Markings are correct: the slide is stamped "COLT AUTOMATIC CALIBER .25" with the Rampant Colt, and the left side reads "COLT'S PT. F. A. MFG.
