Overview
Built for shooters who want a compact 9mm with more capacity and a fuller grip, this sub-compact pistol is suited to everyday carry, range use, and general defensive-minded setup. It pairs a 17+1 round capacity with a 3.18" steel barrel, a polymer frame with Picatinny rail, and interchangeable backstraps to help tailor the feel in hand. The serrated slide, white dot front sight, and blackout rear sight support straightforward handling, while the included magazines, holster, loader, tools, and storage case add practical value out of the box. Its 1.14" width and 6.73" overall length keep it compact, though the extended grip and added capacity make it less minimal than smaller micro-compacts.

Pros
- 17-round capacity with 17+1 total capacity for extended carry readiness.
- Sub-compact frame keeps the pistol compact at 6.73 inches overall length.
- Polymer frame includes a Picatinny rail for accessory mounting.
- Comes with two magazines, holster, mag loader, and storage case.
- Includes three backstraps for grip adjustment.
- White dot front and blackout rear sights are included.
Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 17+1 capacity comes with a larger grip and surface area, so it may be less discreet than smaller micro-compact carry pistols.
- At 6.73" overall length and 22.22 oz, it carries more like a compact than the smallest sub-compacts.
- The 3.18" barrel and sub-compact frame size reflect a carry-focused design, which can mean a shorter sight radius than larger pistols.
- Included accessories add value, but the package is still centered on a basic white-dot front and blackout rear sight setup rather than a more advanced sighting system.
