NOTES:
Barrel length is measured with a dowel from BREECH to MUZZLE END regardless of the length of the rifled portion of the barrel. This measurement includes portions of the slide or compensators that may be forward of the barrel itself.
Gas ports and compensators mean ANY features designed to direct the expanding gasses in order to reduce recoil or compensate muzzle flip, INCLUDING gas ports built into the slide of the handgun. These features do NOT include slide porting for aesthetic or weight reduction purposes.
The weight of the firearm will be measured with unloaded chamber and EMPTY magazine inserted, and will include all affixed accessories including optics, lights, weights, lasers, etc.
