Features and ergonomics

Grip and handling

The Hogue grip sleeve is a practical aftermarket-ready upgrade that reduces perceived recoil and improves retention in rapid transitions. For a small pistol, grip texture and front-to-back purchase are crucial; the sleeve addresses both without permanent modification.

Sights and aiming aids

The fixed white notch rear sight and white dot front sight provide a clean, high-contrast sight picture ideal for close-range defensive work. The Viridian trigger guard laser adds an immediate aiming option for low-light or high-stress scenarios—particularly useful for point-and-shoot situations where traditional sight alignment is slower.
