Key features and components

Barrel and ballistics

The Wilson Combat 11.3″ stainless barrel brings proven barrel-maker quality to a short-barrel configuration. When paired with .300 HAM’R, expect enhanced stopping potential compared to standard pistol calibers while maintaining controllable recoil in a compact platform. .300 HAM’R is effective for close-range defense and offers good barrier performance for urban contexts.

Ergonomics and control

Controls and handling are enhanced by a MagPul pistol grip and an Aero Precision M-LOK handguard—both familiar, durable choices that simplify upgrades and accessories. The SB Tactical brace provides a stable cheek weld and improved control for one- and two-handed operation.

Optics and sighting

Mounted Primary Arms MD-RBG II red dot gives fast target acquisition and reliable performance in low- and daylight situations. The optic choice complements the platform’s defensive intent and keeps sight picture simple under stress. View product details and pricing
