What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent about press force: the title and feature text state 43 g actuation, the technical figures specify 43 gf actuation and 50 gf bottom-out, while other listing copy mentions a 60 g spring or firing pressure. Confirm which metric matters for your choice. Force figures account for slight manufacturing variance.
