The Pro-sized model comes with a rounded heel frame.

  

Non-optics-ready models are available in Custom (left), Pro (right) and Ultra (3") (below) sizes and contain green and red fiber optic sights, Hogue Laser Enhanced MagGrip G10 grips and matching mainspring housings. Both the Pro and Ultra size models have rounded heel frames.
