About the Gun

The steel slide has front and rear serrations and a dust-cover accessory rail. A flat-faced short-reset trigger, fiber-optic front and adjustable rear sights, and an ambidextrous magazine release are typical of the later catalog guns.

Analysis

Arsenal offered an Ergal (7075) frame beside the polymer Strike One from the first factory catalogs, then sold a named aluminum sport pistol from about 2015. The lockup and slide length stayed the same; the milled frame, checkered grip, and adjustable sights moved the gun from a duty-size polymer service pistol into a range and competition piece. Italian production has continued, and current U.S. listings still treat Ergal as a separate, higher-priced catalog gun. Used examples are scarce next to the polymer Strike One.
