"Grain foot per second" (gr·ft/s) can be obtained by measuring the mass in grains (gr) (7,000 to the pound) and velocity in feet per second (ft/s), but since their product yields a very large number it is common to multiply by a factor of 1 ⁄ 1000, obtaining the power factor in kilo grain foot per second instead.
Its 4 in (102 mm) barrel is 1 ⁄ 2 in (12.7 mm) longer than its sister weapon's providing for better accuracy and balance. The compensator and extra bulk also increase the weight. Weighing in at 35 oz (992 g), it is 6 oz (170 g) heavier than the new model, and 2 oz (57 g) heavier than the older model of the C-9 Compact.
