The Victor configuration centers on the 5.5-inch heavy, slab-sided steel barrel and ventilated rib. The underside of the barrel includes multiple tapped holes for removable tuning weights, allowing the shooter to tailor forward balance. A frame-mounted lever allows quick barrel removal and installation.
The action is simple blowback, semi-automatic, with an internal bolt and right-side ejection port instead of an external slide. A heel-type magazine release supports secure magazine retention, and capacity is 10+1 with standard magazines.
