The SFx Rival-S Dark Side uses a steel frame for added stability, with an undercut trigger guard, a factory-beveled magazine well, and ambidextrous slide-stop levers to streamline reloads and controls. The dustcover rail supports accessory mounting, and the left-side magazine release remains consistent with competition muscle memory.
The slide is heavily machined with a long top window, side lightening cuts, and aggressive front and rear serrations, reducing reciprocating mass while offering confident manipulation. It retains a fiber-optic front sight with a rear sight arrangement compatible with optic use.
This example is configured as a competition set with an upgraded trigger and guide rod. Included Sprinco TSK competition trigger spring kits and an additional Sprinco recoil spring allow the user to tailor feel and cycling. An extra recoil spring assembly with guide rod and the original parts are also provided.
It is chambered in 9mm Luger with a 20+1 capacity and ships with seven magazines fitted with extended aluminum basepads. Matching serials are present on the frame and slide. The pistol is imported by Century Arms (Georgia, VT), made in Turkey, and identified by factory part number HG7607-N. Factory specification lists an approximate empty weight of 42.6 oz.
