🔧 Design & Frame

Frame Material: 7075‑T6 aluminum “X‑Frame”—strong yet slim enough (1.4″ wide) for 15–18 round double-stack magazines while mimicking traditional 1911 grip feel

Grip Panels: Screw‑on G10 starburst-pattern panels (colors: Black, Gray/Black, Black Cherry, Dirty Olive) held in by a removable backstrap—no grip safety

Grip Texture: Deep X‑TAC serrations wrap the slide and front/rear straps for exceptional purchase 

⚙️ Slide & Barrel

Slide Material: 416R stainless with “Tri‑Top” profile, fluted chamber/barrel, external extractor, and weight-reducing cuts 

Barrel: Match-grade stainless cone, single-lug locking (reliability-enhancing lockup), flush-crowned muzzle, fluted chamber and barrel exterior for reduced friction and debris control 

Slide Serrations: 30 LPI (top) and 40 LPI (rear) for glare reduction and easy manipulation 

👁️‍🗨️ Sights & Controls

Sights: Elevation-adjustable Battlesight rear with glare-cut; fiber-optic front (green/red/optional tritium or gold bead) 

Controls: CNC’d “Bullet Proof” hammer, medium-length steel trigger (3½–4½ lb pull), extended magsafe and slide stop; undercut trigger guard 

Safety: Manual thumb, optional ambidextrous; no grip safety for easier concealment
