Controls include an ambidextrous thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory pad. A flat, serrated trigger shoe provides a consistent interface, and the grip module features aggressive texturing alongside a flared magazine well with a Watchtower medallion.
The 4.62 in bull barrel is machined from 416R stainless steel and uses a Clark/Para ramp. It is threaded and fitted with a barrel-mounted single-port compensator. Rifling is 1:16 LH. This configuration is purpose-built for durability and stable feeding with the ramped design.
The tri-top slide incorporates top serrations and scalloped relief cuts designed to reduce reciprocating mass. Sighting consists of a green fiber-optic front and a fully adjustable square-notch rear with windage and elevation screws, providing precise mechanical adjustability.
The frame and receiver are 4140 alloy steel (chromoly) with a PVD finish. A railed dustcover with 1913 accessory slots is integrated, and the underside dustcover includes an identification block with the manufacturer, city/state, and model. Overall length is 8.53 in and unloaded weight is 43.2 oz.
The pistol ships with one 20-round 2011-pattern 9mm magazine.
