Key Features
- Threaded 16.5-Inch Barrel — Factory-threaded muzzle (1/2×28) lets you mount suppressors, compensators, or flash hiders without aftermarket work. Why it matters: you get suppressor-ready capability from the box, saving gunsmith costs and wait time.
- Weaver-Style Rail System — Integral rail on the receiver accepts optics, red dots, or lasers. Why it matters: you can zero a dedicated optic without adapter plates, keeping the setup low-profile and repeatable.
- Fully Adjustable Sights — Rear sight adjusts for windage and elevation. Why it matters: you can dial in point-of-impact for different .380 loads without tools, critical for duty or match prep.
- Internal Recoil Buffer — Built into the skeletonized stock to absorb bolt impact. Why it matters: reduces felt recoil and extends component life, especially during high-round-count training sessions.
- 10-Round Detachable Magazine — Ships with one 10-round magazine; standard capacity for .380 ACP carbines. Why it matters: you get a legal-capacity mag that feeds reliably, with spares available direct from Hi-Point.
