Analysis

This variant applied the Gen4 ergonomic and recoil-management updates to a competition-oriented long-slide platform. The extended barrel and sight radius provided increased muzzle velocity and a longer sight plane suited for precision or competitive shooting, while the adjustable rear sight supported windage and elevation changes. The model saw use among competitive shooters and users seeking enhanced sighting options on a full-size platform. Production volumes were lower than those of standard service models.
