This iconic pistol combines time-tested performance with modern manufacturing standards to create a firearm that excels in discrete personal protection scenarios.

The all-steel construction delivers superior durability compared to polymer alternatives, while the fixed barrel design enhances inherent accuracy. At just 21 ounces, this pistol weighs 30% less than full-size service pistols while maintaining the solid feel that inspires confidence.
