Ergonomics and Safety

The added thumb safety gives carriers an extra layer of intentional engagement for those who prefer manual safeties in a carry pistol. The M2.0 textured grip and slim slide profile aid concealed carry while providing purchase for rapid, controlled follow-up shots. The included magazines (7- and 8-round) provide flexible options depending on local carry laws and concealment needs.

Performance Center Upgrades

Ported Barrel and Slide

Porting on the barrel and slide helps reduce muzzle flip, allowing faster sight re-acquisition in rapid strings. This is particularly advantageous in a compact, lightweight platform where mitigating recoil impulse is a high priority.

Fiber Optic Sights and Laser

Bright fiber optic sights provide quick visual alignment in daylight, while the Laser Max green laser in the trigger guard gives an immediate aiming reference for low-light scenarios and high-stress engagements. Green lasers are generally easier to pick up visually than red lasers, especially outdoors.

As a Certified Used firearm, this pistol delivers Performance Center enhancements at a more accessible price point—$360.99—while including the original box and documentation. For full specifications and to confirm inventory, View product details and pricing.
