There\u2019s a protective shroud over the optic, another up front over the muzzle, and the controls are tucked in tight and centered. It\u2019s not flashy\u2014it\u2019s just\u2026 different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Functionally, though, it checks a lot of boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It runs Glock-pattern magazines, including <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/springfield-armory-announces-35-round-extended-mags-for-9mm-xd-m-family\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistollo-77-lever-delayed-blowback-9mm-nra-2026\" title=\"Pistollo 77\u00b0: Lever-Delayed Blowback 9mm -- NRA 2026\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4182\">extended mags<\/a>, and features fully ambidextrous controls across the board. <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/new-equipment-roundup\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistollo-77-lever-delayed-blowback-9mm-nra-2026\" title=\"Pistollo 77\u00b0: Lever-Delayed Blowback 9mm -- NRA 2026\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4180\">Charging is handled by a folding<\/a> handle that can be accessed from either side, and there\u2019s a dedicated bolt hold-open and release system that\u2019s easy enough to manipulate once you get the feel for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out back, the U.S. version adds a <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/fn-fall1a1-quad-rail-picatinny-rail-system-leapers-utg-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistollo-77-lever-delayed-blowback-9mm-nra-2026\" title=\"Pistollo 77\u00b0: Lever-Delayed Blowback 9mm -- NRA 2026\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4181\">Picatinny rail<\/a>, so you can run a brace or configure it however you want. Up top, there\u2019s also a rail replacing the original sight cover, opening things up for optics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under that front shroud, you\u2019ve got \u00bdx28 threads, so it\u2019s suppressor-ready right out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-apocalypse-max-cabot-s-boldest-1911-yet-nra-2026\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/apocalypse-max-cabot-1911-nra-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"pistollo-77-lever-delayed-blowback-9mm-nra-2026\" title=\"Pistollo 77\u00b0: Lever-Delayed Blowback 9mm -- NRA 2026\">Apocalypse MAX: Cabot\u2019s Boldest 1911 Yet \u2014 NRA 2026<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ergonomically, it\u2019s a bit of a mixed bag at first (mainly because it\u2019s just unfamiliar) but once you start running the controls, it begins to make sense.
