Considerations & Trade-offs
- The optics-ready slide and mounting system add flexibility, but they also mean the pistol is set up around sight integration rather than a fixed-sight configuration.
- The included magazines are different capacities, so overall size and carry profile change depending on whether the 17-round or 20-round magazine is used.
- At approximately 23.9 oz with the flush magazine and 24.3 oz with the extended magazine, it is not a lightweight option for those prioritizing minimal carry weight.
- The 4.5" barrel and 8" overall length make it more range- and duty-oriented than compact concealed-carry models.
