Key Features

• 4.00-inch stainless steel barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: Provides consistent accuracy and corrosion resistance for extended shooting sessions.
• Serrated slide with matte black finish – WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces glare and improves grip for positive slide manipulation under stress or wet conditions.
• Gray polymer frame with integrated Picatinny rail – WHY IT MATTERS: Lets you mount lights or lasers without aftermarket adapters, and the gray tone cuts glare in bright environments.
• Stippled grip with palm swell and side-frame memory pads – WHY IT MATTERS: Promotes consistent hand placement and recoil control, especially during rapid follow-up shots.
• 6-lb. trigger with short reset – WHY IT MATTERS: Supports faster, more accurate shot recovery, per Taurus specs, without compromising safety.
