It keeps Archon’s AF-Speedlock system and notched slide, features intended to simplify manipulation and support quicker follow-up shots. The optic-ready slide is cut for the Trijicon RMR, making it a practical choice for users planning to run a reflex sight. Included 12-, 15-, and 18-round magazines, along with a gun bag, add flexibility for range use and transport.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Optic-ready setup is specific to a direct slide cut for the Trijicon RMR, so users with other optics will need to verify compatibility before planning a setup.
- The modular grip system adds flexibility, but it also means the pistol is intended to be configured to the shooter rather than offering a single fixed grip feel out of the box.
- Included magazines are 12-, 15-, and 18-round, so capacity varies by magazine choice and local restrictions may affect how the pistol is used.
- The two-tone black and FDE finish is a specific aesthetic choice; buyers looking for a uniform colorway will want to factor that into the decision.
