Key Features & Custom Upgrades
- Exquisite Slide Artistry: The slide is a visual focal point, featuring a striking classic French border and a ball radius cut. The top of the slide has been flattened and adorned with a five-line arrow pattern to draw the eye naturally down the sight radius while eliminating glare.
- Refined Ergonomics: A heavy bottom slide bevel removes sharp edges for comfortable handling, complemented by a Nighthawk curved slide stop and a crisp, medium solid trigger.
- Premium Sight Picture: Designed for rapid, intuitive target acquisition, it features a rear Heinie Ledge sight paired with a Nighthawk gold bead tri-cut front sight. The rear of the slide and the ejector are meticulously serrated to match, further reducing glare.
- Flawless Frame & Grip Texturing: The frame features a 25 LPI checkered front strap perfectly paired with a custom round-butt mainspring housing, offering an incredibly secure grip without catching on clothing.
- Match-Grade Barrel Assembly: Built for exceptional accuracy, the pistol boasts a beautifully crowned barrel, a fluted barrel hood, a thick barrel bushing, and a smooth plug for a clean, classic muzzle profile.
