Key Features
- Roller-Delayed Blowback System — why it matters: reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, letting you stay on target for faster follow-up shots, a proven system from HK designs.
- Nitride-Treated 8.86″ Barrel with 3-Lug — why it matters: the nitride finish extends barrel life and resists corrosion; the 3-lug profile lets you quickly attach a suppressor without tools.
- M-LOK Aluminum Handguard — why it matters: keeps the forend lightweight and cool under fire, while allowing you to mount lights, lasers, or grips at any position.
- Welded Picatinny Top Rail — why it matters: provides a rock-solid mounting surface for red dots or scopes, with no shift or flex even during hard use.
- Adjustable Iron Sights Included — why it matters: you get backup sights right out of the box, zeroed and ready, so you’re not stuck if your optic fails.
Who It’s For
This pistol is built for shooters who want a compact 9mm that runs like a rifle. Competitive shooters will appreciate the roller-delayed action and low recoil. Home defenders get a reliable, optics-ready platform with suppressor compatibility. Collectors and HK fans will recognize the system’s heritage.
Pros / Cons

- Pro: 3-lug barrel and M-LOK handguard make suppressor setup fast and modular.
- Pro: Ships with two 30-round magazines and a hard case — no extra spend needed.
