Overview
Built for compact defensive carry and range use, this pistol combines a 4.2-inch barrel with a compact frame and a 15-round magazine capacity. The threaded muzzle makes it suppressor ready, while the blacked-out suppressor-height sights are intended to support a clear sight picture in suppressed setups. It comes with three magazines, giving the shooter extra capacity for training or duty-oriented use. The FDE finish and compact dimensions keep the profile practical for users who want a purpose-driven 9mm without unnecessary bulk.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Threaded muzzle and suppressor-height sights make this a more specialized setup; if you do not plan to run it suppressed, those features may be more than you need.
- Compact frame size and 27.7 oz unloaded weight are a practical carry-oriented balance, but they also mean this is not a full-size pistol.
- It ships with three 15-round magazines, which is useful, but capacity is still subject to local laws and may not suit users seeking higher-capacity options.
- The FDE finish and tactical configuration give it a distinct look and role, but that also makes it less of a general-purpose, all-around pistol than a simpler configuration.
