Special Features

• The aluminum alloy frame with Tungsten Gray Cerakote finish gives this pistol a metal frame build that most polymer frame competitors in this price range do not offer.
• Slide lightening cuts on the top and sides reduce weight in front of the chamber, shifting the balance point to help you settle the sights faster between shots.
• The enhanced sear delivers a lighter, crisper trigger break than the standard M2.0 trigger group, giving competitive shooters a more consistent press.
• The green fiber optic front sight paired with a blacked out serrated rear sight gives you a fast, high contrast sight picture under range lighting or overcast field conditions.
• Four interchangeable palmswell grip inserts in small, medium, medium large, and large let you dial in hand fit and trigger reach precisely.
• The flared magazine well speeds up magazine insertion during competition style reloads.
• The reversible oversized magazine release accommodates both right handed and left handed shooters without a parts swap.
• Shipping with four 17 round steel magazines gives you enough capacity on hand to run a full stage or extended range session without stopping to reload magazines.

Practical Benefits

• The optics cut slide lets you mount a red dot for faster target transitions, useful for both competition shooters and anyone using this pistol for serious range training.
• The adjustable grip inserts and flared magazine well make this pistol practical for shooters who want a precise hand fit and fast, fumble free reloads under time pressure.
