Overview
Built for shooters who want a compact 9mm with familiar controls, this micro-compact pistol is suited to concealed carry and other close-range defensive roles where a smaller footprint matters. It combines a single-action-only trigger, 1911-style controls, and SIGLITE night sights with an all-metal frame and ambidextrous safety for straightforward handling. The Flat Dark Earth PVD finish and G-10 Piranha grips round out a practical package, while the included 6-round and 7-round magazines provide flexibility at the range or in carry setup. Its size is intentionally compact, so buyers should expect the trade-off that comes with a smaller pistol platform.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 7+1 capacity is compact for a 9mm, so it favors concealability over extended on-board ammunition.
- Its single-action-only trigger and 1911-style controls may feel familiar to some shooters, but they also mean the manual of arms is more specific than on striker-fired pistols.
- The micro-compact size is designed to tuck neatly into a waistband, which can make the grip and sight picture less forgiving than on larger handguns.
- It includes one 6-round magazine and one 7-round magazine, so magazine capacity and carry setup may vary depending on which magazine is used.
