Your Questions Answered
Is this ready for carry out of the box?
Our staff recommends a brief break-in period. Fire 50 rounds of your chosen defensive ammunition to ensure reliable feeding and function before relying on it for daily carry.
Does it come with a case and accessories?
Yes. It ships from the factory with one 6-round magazine, a lockable hard case, and owner’s manual.
How does the manual safety work?
It uses a 1911-style thumb safety that must be manually disengaged to fire. This provides an additional layer of safety for those who train with this platform.
