Pros & Cons
Pros: The Tenifer finish is exceptionally tough, making this pistol resistant to sweat, rain, and holster wear. Fixed steel sights won’t break or lose zero. The full-size frame makes shooting 9mm recoil very manageable. The 10-round capacity is practical and widely compliant. The price point at $322.99 is accessible for a feature set often found on more expensive guns.
Cons: The fixed sights are not adjustable for windage or elevation without a tool. The 10-round capacity may be less than some shooters prefer for duty or competition use. The full-size frame can be more challenging to conceal for all-day carry compared to a compact model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Tenifer finish similar to what’s used on other major pistol brands?
A: Yes. Tenifer is a type of ferritic nitrocarburizing, similar in purpose and performance to the finishes used on generations of proven duty pistols from brands like Glock. It creates an extremely hard, corrosion-resistant surface layer on the steel components.
Q: Can the sights be upgraded to night sights?
A: Potentially, yes. The slide is typically cut for a standard dovetail sight system. This means you can likely install aftermarket night sights from companies like Trijicon or AmeriGlo, though fitting may require a sight tool or a gunsmith’s assistance for a perfect fit.
Q: What is included with the pistol?
A: The pistol typically comes with one 10-round magazine, a cable lock, and the necessary documentation. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases, so you’ll need to have it shipped to a licensed dealer for the background check and pickup.
