Key Features

• Fluted Barrel: Reduces weight and improves cooling during extended sessions. Why it matters: Keeps the barrel from overheating during rapid fire, so your groups stay tight.
• Serrated Slide: Provides a positive gripping surface when racking the slide. Why it matters: Makes one-handed manipulation or gloved use more reliable, especially in cold weather.
• TruGlo Fiber-Optic Front & Adjustable Pro-Target Rear: Bright front sight for fast acquisition, with a fully adjustable rear for windage and elevation. Why it matters: You can dial in your zero for any distance, improving accuracy from 10 to 50 yards.
• Black Ultragrip RX Grip: Textured rubber surface with finger grooves that lock in your hand. Why it matters: Reduces fatigue and muzzle shift during long range sessions, helping you maintain a consistent grip.
• Single-Action Trigger: Clean, crisp break with minimal travel. Why it matters: You get a predictable trigger pull that rewards good technique and tightens groups.

Who It’s For

This pistol fits the EDC enthusiast who wants a dedicated trainer that mimics the feel of a full-size duty gun but runs on cheap .22 LR. It’s also ideal for competitive shooters looking for a reliable rimfire option for Steel Challenge or bullseye matches. The lightweight build makes it a great pack gun for hikers and campers who need a small game getter.

Pros/Cons

• Pro: Lightweight aluminum frame (31.5 oz) reduces carry fatigue, yet the steel barrel maintains balance for accurate shooting.
• Pro: TruGlo fiber-optic sights are daylight-bright and require no batteries.
• Con: The single-action trigger means you must manually cock the hammer for the first shot—not ideal for quick defensive draws, but standard for target pistols.
