The controls are configured for confident handling: single-action only operation with a long, solid trigger, a beavertail grip safety, and an ambidextrous thumb safety. The front strap is smooth, and the mainspring housing carries vertical serrations.
The slide has rear cocking serrations with no front serrations and a lowered ejection port. Sights are a 3-dot set with a dovetailed front sight and a Novak-style fixed rear.

This example ships with one 8-round magazine and retains its recent-release configuration with the non-factory textured layered composite grip panels installed.
