Design and Construction

Practical Considerations
The 3.5-inch barrel strikes a balance between handling ease and sight radius. The 9mm Luger chambering offers modern ammunition availability and moderate recoil, making this revolver suitable for both recreational shooting and practical use. Single-action operation requires deliberate trigger control and manual cocking—a feature that encourages safe, intentional shooting.
