The Alpha 4.0C configuration pairs a compact grip size with a 4 inch barrel, delivering a 15+1 capacity in a carry-friendly footprint. The forged steel slide wears a Melonite black finish with front and rear serrations and Alpha recontouring, and the frame uses an aggressive molded texture for secure control.
Its modular stainless-steel Central Operating Group (COG) serialized chassis sits inside a black polymer frame, providing a durable, serviceable core. The barrel is hammer-forged and Melonite-treated, and the slide is forged steel for strength and longevity.
Controls are fully ambidextrous, including the slide stop and magazine release. The trigger has a defined wall, a crisp break, and a short reset. A MIL-STD-1913 three-slot accessory rail on the dustcover supports common lights and lasers.
The VIS direct-mount, optics-ready slide supports multiple footprints using self-locking indexing pins, allowing direct mounting without plates. Steel U-Dot sights come standard, with a white front dot and a Tactical Rack U-notch rear. Slide markings include “ECHELON” and “ALPHA,” and the frame is marked “HS PRODUKT MADE IN CROATIA.”
