The standout feature on this model is its compensated barrel - factory-cut ports at the muzzle that vent gas upward to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil, helping you get back on target faster for follow-up shots. With a 3.25" barrel length, this revolver strikes a smart balance between a usable sight radius and a compact enough profile for holster carry.
