The Shadow Ghost trim features an RMSc-footprint optics cut with a cover plate, giving the slide a low-profile mounting option while maintaining clean lines when irons are used. Front and rear slide serrations and an external extractor support confident manipulation.
Its 3.18 in stainless, match-grade barrel uses 5R rifling and a 1:10 twist, engineered for 9mm Luger. The micro-size aluminum-alloy frame and KimPro II black/gray finish keep weight down and add corrosion resistance.
Controls include a reversible magazine release and an ambidextrous manual thumb safety. The single-action, hammer-fired system pairs with a flat-faced trigger for a consistent press.
Sight configuration is straightforward and fast: a red fiber-optic front with a drift-adjustable black rear notch. Aggressive grip texturing, a beavertail-style rear tang, an undercut trigger guard, and a subtly flared magazine well aid control and reloads.
Dimensions are compact for discreet carry: overall length about 6.2 in, width about 1.1 in, and height roughly 4.56 in with the 10-round magazine or about 5.0 in with the extended magazine. Empty weight is about 20.8 oz. Capacity is 13+1, and two magazines are included.
