Overview
Built for concealed carry, this micro-compact 9mm keeps the DY9 family’s higher-capacity approach in a slimmer, lighter package. Its 3.50-inch barrel, striker-fired action, and optic-ready slide with an RMSc direct-mount cut make it a practical option for users who want a compact carry gun with sighting flexibility. The white dot fixed sights, firing pin block, and anti-drop trigger block add to its carry-focused setup, while the Flat Dark Earth frame and black slide give it a subdued two-tone finish. A 15-round metal magazine and changeable backstraps help round out a pistol intended for everyday carry and discreet use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 15+1 configuration is paired with a micro-compact frame, so capacity comes with a smaller grip and shorter sight radius than larger duty-size pistols.
- The RMSc direct-mount optic cut is specific to that footprint, so optic choice is more limited than with broader mounting systems.
- White dot fixed sights are simple and low-profile, but they do not offer the adjustability of fully adjustable sights.
- A 10-round configuration is available, which may be relevant in jurisdictions with magazine-capacity restrictions.
