Sighting equipment includes a fixed integral front blade and a tall, target-style adjustable rear sight with click windage and elevation screws. The slide adds practical touches like a top rib and rear serrations for confident manipulation.
Ergonomics are defined by a black one-piece wraparound polymer grip with a star medallion and "Made in Russia" molded at the base. A lanyard loop at the grip base is included. Dimensions are compact with an approximately 3.6-inch barrel, about 6.3 inches in overall length, and roughly 25–26 oz empty.
