The Spectrum is designed with simplicity in mind. It's lightweight – just over 10 ounces – making it comfortable to carry all day. It comes with two magazines: a flush-fitting 6-round magazine for a slimmer profile, and an extended 7-round magazine for increased capacity and a more substantial grip. The controls are straightforward and easy to operate, even for those new to firearms.
The combination of black and Flat Dark Earth finishes gives this pistol a distinct look. The polymer frame helps keep the weight down, while the stainless steel slide provides durability. The fixed sights are low-profile, making it easier to conceal.
