Law enforcement officers and defensive shooters who train with .40 S&W will find the longer slide reduces perceived recoil and aids follow-up shot speed. The Essentials Package is also ideal for shooters who prefer to buy a complete, ready-to-use package rather than sourcing aftermarket accessories separately.
