The U-notch rear sight with its generous .156-inch notch pairs with the high-visibility brass bead front sight to create an intuitive sight picture that accommodates rapid target acquisition while the serrated top rib eliminates glare between the sights. The tapered G10 grips feature a slim profile at the top transitioning to full width at the bottom allowing shooters with smaller hands easier trigger reach without sacrificing purchase during recoil and the three-faceted serrated surface encourages a high deep grip for maximum control. The integral 1913 Picatinny rail accommodates weapon-mounted lights or lasers and the one-piece magwell facilitates quick magazine changes under stress.
