Key Features

• Stainless Steel Chassis System — Why it matters: This serialized chassis provides a rigid foundation for the trigger and barrel, improving consistency shot to shot.
• Docter Optic Footprint — Why it matters: You can mount red dots without adapter plates, saving weight and keeping the slide profile low for holster compatibility.
• OD Green Polymer Frame — Why it matters: The ODG finish reduces glare in field conditions and matches popular kit setups, plus the textured grip gives you traction even with wet hands.
• Tritium Front Sight & U-Notch Rear — Why it matters: Tritium vials let you acquire the front sight in low light without batteries, and the U-notch rear provides a fast sight picture for follow-up shots.
• Two 10-Round Magazines Included — Why it matters: You get a spare mag out of the box, so you can run drills or carry backup without an extra purchase.

Who It’s For

This is for the daily carrier who wants a full-size 9mm with an optic-ready slide and a frame that won’t glare under a WML. It’s also for shooters in restricted-capacity states who need 10-round magazines but still want a duty-sized grip. If you run a Docter-pattern red dot (like a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro or Vortex Viper), this gun saves you adapter hassle.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: The chassis system keeps the fire-control unit consistent even if you swap the grip module later.
• Pro: The slide is billet-machined, not MIM, which helps with durability over high-round counts.
• Con: The 10-round magazines limit capacity compared to standard 17- or 21-round options — you’ll need to buy full-capacity mags if your state allows them.
