This Core-series pistol uses a double-stack 2011-style stainless-steel frame with a black DLC finish for strength and wear resistance. It is single-action, hammer-fired, and features ambidextrous thumb safeties with a grip safety for confident control. The extended, flared aluminum magwell speeds reloads, and the waffle-textured modular grip with textured frontstrap and backstrap delivers secure purchase.
The 4.6-inch bushingless bull barrel is paired with a reverse plug and a full-length, toolless guide-rod system for straightforward maintenance. A lowered and flared ejection port supports reliable case clearance. The full-length dustcover integrates a 3-slot Picatinny accessory rail for lights or other rail-mounted gear.
The tri-top slide includes forward and rear cocking serrations for positive manipulation. It is optics-ready, with an optics cut and a cover plate that includes the rear sight. Per factory spec, the cut supports RMR and SRO via plate and DPP direct mount. Suppressor-height iron sights consist of a tall black front and a black rear notch on the cover plate.
Fit and finish are clean throughout, with matching black DLC on the slide and frame. Markings indicate manufacture by Race City Defense in Mooresville, North Carolina. The package maintains a balanced feel with an estimated weight of about 39 oz.
