The metallic bronze/gold polymer frame offers a textured grip, an undercut trigger guard, and a mild beavertail to promote a consistent hand position. A textured magazine release aids positive reloads.
An accessory rail with one cross slot on the dust cover accepts compatible lights or other rail‑mounted tools. The frame is marked GLFA SPARTA, MI, reflecting its United States manufacture.
