The RM380 also features a light and smooth double-action-only trigger, fully functional low-profile slidestop, light-slide racking force, and an ambidextrous magazine release. Replaceable grip panels allow for customization while the optimized grip angle allows for greater shootability and comfort. For more, visit Remington.com.
