Key Features

• Optics-Ready Slide: The ported, serrated slide is cut for RMR and SRO footprints, so you can mount your favorite red dot without sending the slide out. Why it matters: saves you the time and expense of aftermarket milling.
• Glock-Compatible Magazines: Ships with two 15-round magazines that work with standard Glock 19 holsters and pouches. Why it matters: no need to hunt for specialty mags; these are easy to find and affordable.
• Picatinny Accessory Rail: A built-in rail on the polymer frame lets you attach a light or laser for low-light shooting. Why it matters: gives you more options for home defense or nightstand duty.
• Ergonomic Controls: The slide stop, magazine release, and takedown lever are designed for easy manipulation, even with gloved hands. Why it matters: smoother operation under stress or in cold weather.
• Multi-Color Cerakote Finish: The zombie splatter pattern on the frame is eye-catching and durable. Why it matters: it stands out at the range and resists holster wear better than plain polymer.
