This is the primary cartridge for the PSD, but it will also convert quickly and easily to 9mm or 10mm/.40 caliber with a barrel change. The magazine is a proprietary multi-caliber design. Although the slide is optics-ready, there is a Three-Point iron sight system that has a ghost-ring style rear sight and a red diamond post front sight.
