The Grizzly Mark IV carries the distinctive features of L.A.R.'s .44 Magnum lineup, including an extended/long dust cover and all-steel construction that scales up the 1911 platform for magnum power. Its matte dark slide and frame present a uniform, purposeful finish over a robust steel receiver and frame.
Sighting is handled by a ramped front with a single white dot paired to a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation.

The trigger is a solid, non-skeletonized design, and the hammer is a wide spur type.
