The FMK G3 has an optic-ready slide that does not require mounting plates! The custom-designed slide allows mounting any Burris Fastfire 3, Vortex Viper, Vortex Venom, or Trijicon RMR optics. Each FMK9C1-G3 comes with a redesigned metal slide stop and Fast Action trigger mechanism for the shooting enthusiast who prefers a quick short trigger pull with a drop-free magazine. Another unique feature is the grip that has a rubberized backstrap. This backstrap effectively reduces felt recoil and hugs and grips the palm of the shooting hand to provide a comfortable, positive grip. The result is a grip that seems to mold to the shooters hand instead of having to mold your hand to fit the grip. The FMK9C1-G3 is ergonomically built to fit both large and small hands comfortably. The barrel is engineered to sit low for superior point-and-shoot accuracy and reduced muzzle flip, and the FMK9C1-G3 has virtually no external protrusions, making it ideal for concealed carry. Of course, its Proudly American.
