Great Lakes GL19CHY Striker 9mm Pistol 15+1 4" Cerakote Black Cherry

The Great Lakes Firearms GL19CHY Striker delivers proven reliability in a distinctive Cerakote Black Cherry finish that stands out from standard polymer frames. This striker-fired 9mm pistol combines time-tested ergonomics with enhanced grip texturing and front/rear slide serrations for positive manipulation under stress.

What Makes This Different

The GL19CHY features aggressive front and rear slide serrations that provide 40% more surface contact than smooth slides, ensuring reliable cycling even with wet or gloved hands. The Cerakote Black Cherry finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard Tenifer coatings, with a hardness rating of 70+ HRC that withstands 3,000+ hours of salt spray testing. The striker-fired system eliminates external hammers and reduces trigger pull weight to a consistent 5.5 pounds.
