Overview
Built around a low bore-axis design, this Gen2 pistol is aimed at shooters who want a configurable platform for range use, training, or duty-style carry. Its modular grip system lets the user adjust both grip size and texture, while the AF-Speedlock system is designed to eliminate barrel tilt and support faster follow-up shots. The notched slide adds easier manipulation, and the direct slide cut is set up for a Trijicon RMR reflex sight. It ships with 12-, 15-, and 18-round magazines plus a gun bag, giving the package a practical setup right out of the box.

- The modular grip system adds flexibility, but it also means the pistol depends on interchangeable grip parts to tailor fit and texture.
- This model includes one 12-round, one 15-round, and one 18-round magazine, so capacity options are mixed rather than uniform.
- The pistol is priced at a premium level, which may matter if you do not need the optic-ready setup or modular grip features.
