European American Armory / EAA Corp chambers the pistol in 9mm with a 17-round capacity, giving Girsan 1911 reliability at a much higher round count. The pistol features an extended beavertail, an accessory rail, polymer grips, and an ambidextrous safety, with a fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear on this optics-ready, serrated slide.
