Further upgrades include a side-reversible, extended magazine release and additional backstrap for customizing the fit. Also, an included retention holster features Slide Lock Release.

Salient also nitride coats the slide, barrel and small steel parts. Meanwhile, the internal components feature nitride or high-wear nickel coatings. The Salient collaboration includes the barrel and thread protector and an aluminum Speed Funnel magazine well. Additionally, the sights include a fiber-optic front. The 15-round magazine includes a +3 extension for 18 rounds overall.

Canik says the Elite Combat Executive to run in a limited quantity. Above all, the MSRP is set at just $749.99; the pistol ships in early May.
