The Dark Side variant presents an all-black finish over a fiber-reinforced polymer frame and a lightened slide. Front and rear serrations and slide windows aid manipulation and balance, while the optics cut with cover plate lets you mount popular footprints using the included plates. The rear sight is integrated into the optic-plate cover, paired with a red fiber-optic front and a serrated black rear notch.
Controls are competition-focused and adaptable: an ambidextrous slide stop, reversible magazine release, and an external removable flared magwell support fast reloads. The flat-faced aluminum trigger with safety blade, along with a trigger safety and no magazine disconnect, aligns with a straightforward, striker-fired setup.
The 5-inch barrel and full-size frame deliver a sight radius geared for practical accuracy, with a capacity of 18+1 rounds. A three-slot Picatinny accessory rail supports lights or other compatible accessories as needed. This model is listed as competition-legal for USPSA, IDPA, and IPSC.
