- The first digit followed by a dash refers to type (1 = pistol, 2 = revolver, 3 = rifle/carbine, 5 = magazines, accessories, or grips, and 10 = scope mount bases),
- The next 2 or 3 digits refer to model number,
- The next digit refers to type of hammer (0 = exposed, 1 = concealed)
- The next digit refers to barrel length,
- The last digit refers to finish (1 = blue, 9 = stainless),
- The suffix at the end refers to special features (T = total titanium, H = case hardened, M = matte finish, UL = Ultra-Lite, C = compensator [ported], G = gold accent, R = rosewood grips, PRL = mother-of-pearl grips, and NS = night sights).
