The Competitor HD uses a steel "Metal HD" frame for a solid, full-size foundation and features the Performance Center treatment throughout. This model is the NTS (No Thumb Safety) variant and is striker-fired for a consistent trigger press.
A 5.0 in spiral-fluted stainless barrel sits under a slide cut with large lightening windows and deep forward serrations. The optics-cut slide arrives with a two-screw cover plate installed, and the included C.O.R.E. plate kit provides mounting options for popular pistol optics.
Controls and ergonomics are competition-focused: an ambidextrous slide stop, extended textured magazine release, flared magwell, and interchangeable palmswell backstraps to fine-tune hand fit. The flat-face trigger offers a straight press that complements the pistol’s full-size, 17+1 layout.
Sight picture is fast and uncomplicated with a green fiber-optic front and black rear. A 3-slot Picatinny accessory rail supports lights or lasers. Factory specs list approximately 8.25 in overall length, 5.5 in height, and 34.5 oz weight without the magazine. This U.S.-made pistol is cataloged as MFG P/N 14068.
