The Girsan Regard Liberador II delivers full-size performance in a striker-fired platform designed for both competitive shooting and duty applications. This Turkish-manufactured pistol combines proven reliability with modern ergonomics at a competitive price point. Built on a polymer frame with steel slide construction, the Liberador II offers consistent accuracy and dependable function across diverse shooting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Liberador II features true ambidextrous controls including slide stop and magazine release, accommodating both left and right-handed shooters without modification. The 4.9-inch barrel provides enhanced velocity and accuracy compared to compact alternatives, while the 18+1 capacity matches full-size duty pistols. Striker-fired operation eliminates external hammers and reduces trigger pull weight to approximately 5.5 pounds with consistent break characteristics.
