Its construction emphasizes carry-friendly weight with a matte silver lightweight alloy frame under a black slide, creating a true bi-tone look. Grip and handling details include checkered hardwood double-diamond panels, a vertically serrated mainspring housing, and a smooth front strap.
Controls and sighting are straightforward and effective: single-action operation with a single-side thumb safety and beavertail grip safety, a skeletonized long three-hole trigger, and a skeletonized commander-style hammer. The slide uses rear cocking serrations only. Sights are fixed with a ramped white-dot front and a low-mount square-notch rear. This pistol is very lightweight, and the posting is very well done.
