Pros and Cons

• Pros: Optics-ready out of the box, excellent trigger feel, Glock-pattern compatibility, spiral-fluted barrel for accuracy and debris clearance, adjustable grip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this pistol fit my Glock 19 holster?

Yes, the MR920 Elite is designed to be compatible with most Glock 19 holsters, magazines, and accessories. However, the slightly wider slide may not fit retention holsters with very tight tolerances. We recommend testing with your specific holster.
