Durable FDE PVD Coating for Superior Protection: Finished in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) with durable Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating, this stripped slide provides superior wear resistance and corrosion protection exceeding traditional finishes for long-term reliability in demanding concealed carry applications. The PVD coating offers exceptional hardness and adhesion to the slide surface, protecting against holster wear, environmental exposure, and rough handling while maintaining the distinctive FDE appearance.

The aggressive texturing ensures confident handling during administrative tasks and malfunction clearing. The factory RMS optics cut allows easy mounting of Reflex Mini Sights and RMS-pattern red dot optics without additional machining, enabling shooters to upgrade to modern sighting solutions for improved target acquisition. The pre-installed cover plate provides seamless setup upon integration, allowing use with iron sights until optic installation.
Lightweight Design for Tactical Carry: Optimized with lightweight design that reduces overall pistol weight for comfortable concealed carry while maintaining the structural integrity needed for reliable cycling and durability. The weight optimization doesn't compromise strength or dimensional stability, ensuring consistent lockup with barrel and frame components for accurate shot placement.
