The XC is regarded as a top-tier "do-it-all" pistol, serving as a race-ready competition gun that is also suitable for duty, home defense, and even concealed carry. It is noted for its exceptional fit and finish, creating a very "flat" shooting experience.

Trigger: Light, crisp 2.5 lb trigger, described as a "duty-tuned" competition trigger.

Frame & Slide: Steel frame with X-Series slide serrations, which reduce weight and enhance heat dissipation.
