The 85%-scale frame and slide give this compact .22 LR the familiar ergonomics of a 1911 in a lighter, handier package. With a 3.625 in barrel, overall length of about 6.5 in, and weight around 15 oz, it is easy to carry and quick to handle.
Construction is purpose-built: an aluminum-alloy slide and frame keep weight down, while the steel barrel and pinned steel breechblock support reliable straight-blowback operation. The matte black finish on both slide and frame provides a clean, uniform look.
Controls and features mirror the 1911 platform, including single-action operation, a manual thumb safety, and a grip safety. A magazine disconnect safety is also present. Fixed sights consist of a front blade and rear notch for a straightforward sight picture.
Double-diamond checkered wood grips deliver classic 1911 styling and positive purchase. Chambered in .22 LR with a 10+1 capacity, this pistol is made in the USA, with serial code letters indicating 2012 manufacture.
