The compact tactical configuration pairs a 4.32 in cold hammer-forged, 1/2x28 threaded barrel with suppressor-height iron sights (white dot front, serrated notch rear) for use with muzzle devices. A cover plate is installed over the factory optics cut when no optic is mounted.
FN’s Low-Profile Optics Mounting System is included with plates and hardware, allowing the slide’s MRD cut to be configured using factory components. Front and rear slide serrations aid manipulation, and ambidextrous slide-stop levers support either-hand use.
The black polymer frame features a textured grip with interchangeable backstraps and a three-slot Picatinny accessory rail. The striker-fired action incorporates a trigger safety. Approximate dimensions are 7.4 in OAL, 1.35 in width, and 5.3 in height, with an unloaded weight of about 26.2 oz.
Three steel magazines are included: 12-round flush-fit, 15-round mid-length, and 24-round extended, providing a 24+1 maximum capacity. The slide and frame wear a black finish, and the pistol is made in the USA.
