Key Features
- Rose Copper TiN Match Barrel — This barrel is machined from stainless steel and coated with a Titanium Nitride finish in Rose Copper. It resists moisture and corrosion while delivering consistent accuracy shot after shot.
- Lightening-Cut Serrated Slide — The slide features lightening cuts to reduce weight and serrations for positive grip during manipulation, making it easier to rack in high-stress situations.
- KimPro II Gray Frame Finish — The aluminum frame is treated with KimPro II, a durable coating that withstands holster wear and environmental exposure without chipping or fading.
- Compact 3.15-Inch Barrel — The 3.15-inch barrel keeps the overall length short for concealed carry, while the match-grade construction ensures tight groups at defensive distances.
- 7+1 Capacity — With a flush-fit 7-round magazine and one in the chamber, you have eight rounds of 9mm on tap for self-defense.

Pros and Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 15.5 ounces; match-grade barrel for accuracy; corrosion-resistant TiN finish; sleek KimPro II Gray frame; reliable 7+1 capacity.
- Cons: The Rose Copper TiN barrel may show holster wear over time, but this does not affect function. Some users find the grip texture moderate, so adding a slip-on grip sleeve can enhance control.
