• Optics-Ready & Cerakote Finish: The slide is milled from the factory to accept popular micro red dot sights, and the entire firearm is protected by a professional-grade Black Cerakote finish for exceptional corrosion and wear resistance.
• Refined Single-Action Trigger: The tuned single-action trigger provides a clean, consistent pull, a critical component for precision shooting, whether on the range or in a defensive scenario.
• Enhanced Control Surfaces: Features like the high-cut front strap and carefully designed grip texture, a direct result of the 10-8 collaboration, offer superior weapon retention and handling under all conditions.
