Overview
Built for shooters who want a configurable sidearm, this Gen2 pistol combines a modular grip system with the brand’s low bore-axis design to support a tailored fit in hand. It also keeps the AF-Speedlock system and a notched slide, features intended to make manipulation straightforward and follow-up shots quicker. The direct slide cut for an Aimpoint ACRO reflex sight gives it a clear role for optic-equipped use, while the included 12-, 15-, and 18-round magazines add flexibility for range sessions or duty-style setup. A gun bag is included for transport, making this a practical package for users who value adaptability and a ready-to-configure platform.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Optic compatibility is specific to an Aimpoint ACRO direct slide cut, so it is not a universal optic-ready setup.
- The modular grip system adds flexibility, but it also means the pistol is built around interchangeable grip size and texture rather than a fixed, one-piece grip feel.
- Included magazines are limited to one each of 12, 15, and 18 rounds, so capacity options are defined by what ships with the pistol.
- The notched slide is intended to aid manipulation, but it does not replace the need to confirm the controls and handling fit your preferred setup.
