- A tritium fiber optic front sight gives you a bright green dot in daylight and a glowing tritium element in low light, covering both ends of the shooting day
- The fully adjustable tritium rear sight allows windage and elevation tuning for different loads and distances
- Skeletonized hammer and long solid trigger reflect a match-oriented internal build tuned for a consistent single action pull
- 25 LPI checkering on both the front strap and mainspring housing provides a firm, consistent grip surface across varied field and weather conditions
- Forward cocking serrations and the serrated flat top rib reduce glare and give the shooter positive slide manipulation from any grip position
