Originally only produced with an integral accessory rail (as the term GSR implied), both standard and rail models are now offered.

Analysis

This .45 Auto carry pistol offers a solid blend of performance and design for concealed carry or personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, with tight groupings at typical defensive ranges, thanks to a well-engineered barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip provides a secure hold, even during extended range sessions, though some users with smaller hands may find it slightly bulky. Reliability is a key asset, functioning consistently across various ammunition types with minimal malfunctions during testing. However, maintenance can be more demanding due to the tighter tolerances, requiring diligent cleaning to ensure optimal performance. Parts availability may also pose a challenge for some owners, as certain components are less common in the aftermarket. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds, while the felt recoil is manageable but noticeable, typical for a compact .45 platform, necessitating proper grip technique for control.

Great pistol. Need holsters readily available.

Excellent shooter. The slide is square, not rounded like the Government model. And if it has the accessory rail. Hard to find a holster for it.
