You get a crisp 3.5-4-pound trigger, a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump, and a low-profile combat sight system for quick target acquisition. The lightweight frame and textured grips keep the pistol secure in your hand during rapid fire, and the skeletonized hammer reduces weight and improves lock time.
