The MR920L Elite is long slide version of the MR920 Elite. With the MR920L, you get the concealability of a compact frame with the long sight radius of a full size slide. The MR920L was conceived as the true answer to the question of "How do I get more capability out of my pistol and still conceal it daily?" More Capability: The MR920L and its shorter barrel length cousin, the MR920 Elite, both offer an incredibly high degree of mechanical accuracy. The MR920L however makes it easier to use that mechanical accuracy with an increase in sight radius of 1/2". That may not seem like a lot, but it is more than enough to notice by an experienced shooter. The MR920L also features significantly less upward snap than the MR920 Elite. There was noticeably less felt recoil under test conditions using the same ammunition and the same shooter, fired consecutively. Both of those benefits can be had in a pistol that is just as easily hidden as the MR920 Elite.
