Introduced 1996 with a limited availability of only about 2,000. The original military design of this pistol was designed as an "offensive" pistol for U.S. special operations forces. It won out over the Colt OHWS pistol because of it's ability to operate in harsh conditions, it's corrosion resistance and ambidextrous controls. Has a polymer frame and steel slide. Three-dot fixed sights, ambidextrous magazine release and safety, 10 round double stack magazine, and textured grip with checkered grip straps. Grooved frame for accessories and the barrel is threaded for a suppressor. Complete with soft nylon camouflage case, one extra magazine, a Bagmaster Mfg. holster and manual.
