Overview
Built for concealed carry and everyday defensive use, this sub-compact 9mm offers a higher 17+1 capacity while keeping the footprint manageable for carry. The extended grip and interchangeable backstraps give it a more adaptable feel in hand, and the included holster, two magazines, mag loader, and cleaning accessories make it ready to set up and use. With a 3.18-inch steel barrel, white-dot front sight, and blackout rear, it is aimed at shooters who want a compact pistol with practical range and carry features. The Flat Dark Earth frame finish and black slide give it a straightforward, duty-minded look without adding unnecessary bulk.

Pros

- Includes two magazines, holster, mag loader, and storage case for a complete package.
- Interchangeable backstraps help tailor the grip to different hand sizes.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 17+1 capacity is paired with an extended grip and surface area, so it gives up some of the smallest micro-compact footprint in exchange for more control and room for the hand.
- At 6.73" overall length with a 3.18" barrel, it sits in the sub-compact category but is not the shortest or most minimal option for deep concealment.
- The included holster, magazines, backstraps, and tools add value, but they also make the package more carry-ready than stripped-down, minimalist.
- White dot front and blackout rear sights are straightforward and functional, but they are a simple sighting setup rather than a more specialized configuration.
