The handle is constructed from durable Ranger Green Grivory, a lightweight synthetic material that offers impressive strength without adding unnecessary weight. Its ergonomic design promotes a secure and comfortable grip while maintaining the slim profile that makes the Shootout so easy to carry. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip accommodates both right- and left-handed users, while an integrated glass breaker tip adds valuable emergency functionality.
