Overview
Built for shooters who want a configurable handgun platform, this Gen2 model combines a modular grip system with a low bore-axis design to support a tailored fit and straightforward handling. It includes Archon’s AF-Speedlock system, a notched slide for easier manipulation, and an optic-ready direct cut for the Shield RMSc reflex sight. The threaded barrel adds flexibility for compatible setups, while the included 12-, 15-, and 18-round magazines and gun bag make it ready for range use and transport. For hunters and outdoorsmen who value adaptability in a sidearm, it offers a feature set centered on customization rather than fixed configuration.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Optic-ready setup is specific to the Shield RMSc reflex sight, so compatibility is narrower than a universal cut.
- The threaded barrel adds flexibility for configured use, but it also means the pistol is set up around accessories rather than a plain, streamlined profile.
- The modular grip system offers size and texture changes, but that also means the feel depends on which configuration is selected.
- Included magazines are 12, 15, and 18 rounds, so capacity varies by magazine rather than staying uniform across the package.
