Built on Caspian’s Government-size stainless frame and 5-inch slide, this pistol carries a non-railed profile with brushed flats and a matte top. The slide is marked 'Caspian' with laurel-wreathed 'C' logos, and the right side of the frame is marked 'VT, USA.' The barrel hood is marked 'NOWLIN 45 ACP,' confirming the match-grade tube at the heart of the build.
The slide is configured with rear-only vertical cocking serrations and a lowered, flared ejection port. A full-length guide rod supports the 5-inch system, enhancing the classic Government-format cycling characteristics while maintaining the pistol’s clean lines.
Sighting is handled by a low-mount adjustable rear sight paired with a red fiber-optic front sight in a dovetail. Controls include an ambidextrous thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump for consistent engagement. The fire-control group features a long, three-hole aluminum trigger and a skeletonized commander-style hammer.
An add-on flared magazine well/mainspring housing speeds reloads. The grip setup includes checkered hardwood panels with 'W' medallions and a Crimson Trace front-strap grip sleeve. Capacity is 8+1 with the included Chip McCormick Power Mag+ magazine.
