The Hunter configuration pairs a 10 in stainless barrel with a ventilated rib, provision for a front sight on the rib, and a fully adjustable square-notch rear sight. The frame, slide, and receiver are stainless steel, complemented by checkered wood grip panels and an exposed, serrated-spur hammer.
Its operating system is the hallmark of the Wildey design: a gas-operated action with a user-adjustable gas regulator and a rotating-bolt locking system. The pistol is DA/SA with a frame-mounted safety/decocker. Capacity is 7+1 using the included single-column magazine.
This example reflects early Cheshire, CT production, noted by the address marking and 09- prefix. The platform was designed to be multi-caliber convertible with the appropriate barrel/bolt/magazine kits (not included). The ventilated rib shows a single screw hole near the muzzle area. No case is included with this listing.
