Controls, Safety, and Sights

Ambidextrous, Intuitive Controls

This model features ambidextrous dual slide and magazine release levers, giving both right- and left-handed operators straightforward manipulation under stress. The serrated decocking button and spurred hammer deliver familiar manual control for trained users who prefer a hammer-fired interface.

Built-in Safety Indicators

The extractor doubles as a loaded chamber indicator, providing tactile and visual confirmation of a chambered round without needing to retract the slide. Night sights are factory-equipped on the V3, supporting low-light acquisition for duty or home defense scenarios.

Barrel, Rail, and Recoil Management

The polygonal bore profile delivers consistent bullet sealing and can improve velocity and ease of cleaning compared with conventional rifling in many service calibers. A Picatinny rail is molded into the front of the frame for lights or lasers. Recoil is softened by a polymer recoil absorber “stop” bushing that mitigates felt impulse for faster follow-up shots.
