The new Ultralight Carry was designed from the beginning to be the ultimate full-size carry pistol. The foundation is a fully-machined aluminum frame for reduced weight. When combined with the carry cuts, ball endmill cuts, Round butt frame, concealment beavertail grip safety and hammer, the Ultralight Carry is over 1/2 pound lighter than a comparable steel frame pistol. Experts agree the ultimate carry pistol must be as light as possible while maintaining the shootability of a 5" pistol. The Ultralight Carry is handcrafted with all the features imperative in a daily use pistol. To reduce the profile and improve comfort, we have incorporated our new concealment beavertail grip safety, a Round butt frame and Carry cuts / Ball Endmill cuts on the slide. The slide stop post has been countersunk to allow the use of laser grips, completing the features necessary in a daily concealed carry pistol.
