This Sand Viper is a single-action-only, full-size 2011 built around a double-stack frame, delivering a stated 20+1 capacity in 9mm Luger. It uses a 5 inch barrel with an overall length of approximately 8.5 inches and a height of about 6.5 inches, providing a balanced footprint for competition-focused shooting.
The slide is purpose-built with forward and rear cocking serrations, lightening windows, an external extractor, and a lowered ejection port. The pistol is optics-centric and ships with a Trijicon SRO red dot installed; there are no iron sights. The SRO provides a red dot reticle for fast sight acquisition.
Controls and ergonomics include a beavertail grip safety, a left-side thumb safety, and a flared magazine well for quick reloads. The flat-faced, skeletonized trigger with lightening cuts and the skeletonized hammer support a clean, competition-oriented trigger feel. The black textured polymer grip module features Phoenix Trinity bird-head medallions for a secure hold.
Fit and finish are consistent throughout with a bronze/tan color on the slide, frame, magwell, and base pads. The pistol is marked "Sand Viper" with multiple TTI "V" logos on the slide and frame, reflecting the model’s distinctive identity.
