Optics and Controls

Optics-Ready Slide and Sights

The optics-ready slide simplifies mounting a wide range of red dot optics, letting shooters configure a low-profile red dot or plate-mounted options quickly. White dot sights are installed from the factory to provide a clear, easy-to-acquire sight picture straight out of the box—ideal for fast target acquisition at the range or in defensive scenarios.

Trigger, Serrations, and Manipulation

The Performance Duty Trigger offers a crisp break and a short, tactile reset that supports rapid, accurate follow-ups. Walther’s SuperTerrain slide serrations provide secure purchase for positive manipulation in wet or gloved conditions, improving confidence during reloads and press checks.

This listing includes three 18-round magazines, giving significant on-gun capacity before reloads—an advantage when pairing controllable 9mm performance with extended capacity.
