The term refers to a specific handgun model known for its custom features and performance enhancements. This firearm is typically a modified version of a popular pistol platform, refined through specialized gunsmithing processes. An example is a Glock pistol that has undergone extensive modifications by Taran Tactical Innovations (TTI), including stippling, trigger work, and slide enhancements.
The significance of this type of firearm lies in its optimized ergonomics, improved accuracy, and enhanced reliability. Historically, custom firearms have served as a demonstration of gunsmithing skill and have been sought after by competitive shooters, law enforcement, and individuals seeking a high-performance personal defense weapon. These enhancements often translate to faster target acquisition, reduced recoil, and increased confidence in the weapon’s operation.
