Design and construction

The Security design centers on durability and user-friendly controls. An alloy steel barrel and slide improve longevity under regular use; the glass-filled nylon grip delivers high friction control without adding excess weight. The pistol includes a high-visibility sight system with a fixed front sight and a drift-adjustable rear sight—ideal for rapid sight acquisition and simple zeroing in the field. External manual safety and a secure action that blends a smooth trigger pull with a short, crisp feel and a positive reset make follow-up shots more instinctive.

Capacity, magazines, and specifications

Factory specifications list a baseline capacity of 10+1, with the listing noting the included extended magazine which increases usable rounds for duty or range sessions—this makes the platform flexible for users who want extra capacity without moving to a larger frame.

The pistol is a Gen 1 double-action Security model and is priced competitively at $249.99 for this preowned example. View product details and pricing
