Design & Ergonomics

The precision-molded polymer grip frame features a serrated front strap and checkered backstrap for repeatable hand placement, and the 1911-style checkered grip panels provide a familiar purchase for shooters transitioning from full-size pistols. The contoured ejection port and easy-to-grasp bolt ears speed manipulations, and the push-button magazine release on the left side allows rapid reloads while the magazine drops free on release. The package includes two 10-round magazines and a thread protector.

Controls and Modularity

An ambidextrous manual safety is standard and can be converted to left-side only using the included washer — a simple field change that tailors the pistol to individual handedness. The Picatinny rail on the receiver supports lights or red-dot footprints, expanding training and optics options.

Barrel, Caliber, and Performance

The stainless threaded bull barrel stabilizes .22 LR loads for consistent groups and handles a range of rimfire ammunition types. The .22 LR caliber is ideal for high-volume practice, low-cost marksmanship training, and suppressed-range work when paired with a compatible suppressor. Threaded barrels and included thread protector let owners test suppression or chrono performance safely.
