The Pro Series Sub-Compact format delivers a micro 1911 footprint with an officer-length grip frame and a 3-inch barrel, chambered in .45 ACP with a 7+1 capacity. The beveled magazine well supports efficient reloads, and the flat, checkered mainspring housing pairs with a smooth front strap for a secure, comfortable hold.
Its scandium-alloy frame wears a matte black finish for reduced weight and durability, while the slide presents a two-tone treatment with brushed stainless flats and a matte black topstrap. Performance-oriented slide details include a lowered and flared ejection port, an external extractor, and rear cocking serrations.
The sighting system uses a 3-dot setup with a dovetailed white-dot front and a drift-adjustable 2-dot rear secured by a set screw. Controls include a manual thumb safety, a beavertail grip safety, and a firing-pin safety. The three-hole curved trigger features an overtravel stop for a clean, consistent break.
