The passive grip safety adds a layer of safety and is disengaged with a proper shooting grip. The striker\u2019s position is confirmed by a status indicator located on the rear of the slide. And lastly, a tactile loaded chamber indicator slightly protrudes from the top of the slide when a round is chambered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 9mm pistol features a flat-faced trigger to provide a consistent feel throughout the trigger press. In addition, a red fiber optic<\/a> front sight is paired with a white dot rear, both constructed of steel for durability.

A 10-round variant for restricted locales is also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
