The compensated 4.5" barrel is hammer-forged steel with Melonite treatment and porting, paired with a billet-machined steel slide finished in black Melonite. The slide adds forward and rear serrations and an integral top port to complement the barrel’s single-port compensator.
Springfield’s Variable Interface System (VIS) provides a multi-footprint, direct-mount optics interface with the cover plate not installed. Factory sights consist of a high-visibility tritium/luminescent front dot and a black rear sight for a clear sight picture.
The frame is black polymer with interchangeable backstraps for fit tuning, and it includes ambidextrous slide stop levers. A Picatinny-style accessory rail on the dust cover supports common lights and accessories. A trigger safety tab is the primary safety feature.
Inside, a serialized stainless-steel Central Operating Group (removable chassis) serves as the modular core. The pistol is full-size with an 18+1 capacity, and it ships with both extended and flush-base factory magazines. Proof marks identify HS Produkt — Made in Croatia, and the pistol is marked accordingly.
