Frequently Asked Questions
Is the amethyst finish durable?
Yes, the PVD coating is highly resistant to wear and maintains its color better than cerakote or anodizing.
What’s included in the box?
Pistol, two 7-round magazines, cable lock, factory case, owner’s manual, and inspection certificate.
Can this pistol be used for concealed carry?
While compact enough, the special finish makes it more suitable for range/collection use. We recommend our CCW pistols for daily carry.

No, the Ultra II platform omits the rail for a cleaner profile.
