The Tactical configuration centers on a 4.9-inch, extended, cold hammer forged chrome-moly steel barrel threaded M13.5x1 LH. The setup supports common 9mm accessories that use left-hand metric threads while maintaining a full-size sight radius and balance.
The slide is high-carbon steel with a nitrocarburized surface and front and rear serrations. The frame is aluminum alloy with full-length frame rails and a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny accessory rail on the dust cover. Markings include AREX, SLOVENIA and the U.S. import mark from Global Ordnance.
Operation is DA/SA, hammer-fired, short-recoil, locked-breech. Controls include a manual safety and decocker, plus an exposed spurred hammer for positive control. Capacity is 18+1, and two 18-round steel magazines with "+2" base pads are included.
Sighting equipment consists of raised steel 3-dot sights: a white-dot front and a square-notch rear with two white dots. The Arex Optics Ready (AOR) interface is built into the slide with a removable cover plate, and the included AOR mounting plates provide mounting options.
This pistol was designed and tested to NATO criteria with a stated 30,000-round service-life expectation. It also features triple-matched serial numbers on the barrel, slide, and frame, reflecting factory assembly integrity.
