Performance & Features

Ultra-Lightweight & Easily Concealable

Its slim profile (less than 1-inch wide) and compact dimensions ensure that it can be carried comfortably and discreetly, even in lightweight clothing.

Double-Action-Only (DAO) Reliability

The smooth, consistent DAO trigger pull ensures that the pistol is always ready to fire when needed while reducing the risk of accidental discharge. This simple, no-external-safety design makes it an excellent option for self-defense, as there are no complicated controls to manipulate under stress.

• Textured Grip Frame: Enhances control and comfort, providing a secure hold despite its small size.
• Slide Stop Mechanism: Locks the slide open after the last round, allowing for quicker reloads and improved safety during handling.
