Key specifications

Notable features include a 4-inch barrel for a balance of ballistic performance and concealability, and a 15‑round capacity with the flush magazine—rare in pistols this size.

Sight System & Optics

The revolutionary Variable Interface System (VIS) is a standout: it allows direct-mount compatibility with today’s leading red dot sights without requiring adapter plates.
