Key features and what they mean for the shooter

The package includes a SIG Romeo-X enclosed compact optic and Trijicon tritium night sights (green front, orange rear). The enclosed Romeo-X offers a low-profile, durable red-dot solution for fast target acquisition, while the tritium sights provide reliable backup and sight-picture contrast in low light. Combined, these sighting options give the operator redundancy and fast transitions between sights and dot.

Controls, trigger, and ergonomics

TTI custom stippling, a custom beveled magazine well, and a metal magazine release button improve purchase and reload speed under stress. A Timney trigger shoe is fitted to refine the break and reset, translating to tighter groups and more controllable follow-up shots. Those tactile upgrades make a noticeable difference when shooting single-handed or clearing malfunctions during drills.

Magazines and carry readiness

The package ships with two 10-round factory magazines and one 15-round magazine with a +5 TTI base pad, giving a solid balance of concealment-ready capacity and an extended option for range work or higher-capacity tasks. A color-matched TTI Savior pistol bag is included for transport and storage, keeping the handgun protected and presentable.

From a brand perspective, Taran Tactical is known for meticulous enhancements to factory platforms; this Copperhead build follows that lineage with parts selected for defensive practicality rather than mere aesthetics. For anyone seeking a turn-key semi auto optimized for small-frame carry and precision, this is a distinct offering. View product details
