Faxon Sentinel 308 Overview
The Sentinel is a Faxon pistol built for duty, home defense and range use. It is built on the AR10 platform. A good handgun should be reliable with a wide range of ammo, easy to shoot accurately and simple to maintain, and that is what this model is built to deliver.
Action and Controls
The Sentinel runs on a Semi-Auto action system with a Hiperfire EDTDM trigger. It holds 20+1 rounds. The safety is ambidextrous safety lever. Practice your trigger press and reloads until they feel natural.
Barrel and Sights
The 13.90 inch barrel is steel with a threaded profile. Check that your front sight is crisp in focus as you press the trigger, which is the key to accuracy with any handgun.
Frame, Slide and Finish
The frame is aluminum. The finish is Black Anodized. Grips are B5.
Size and Carry
Overall length is 32.90″, height is 7.50″ and width is 2″. It weighs about 8 lbs. That size gives a full grip and a longer sight radius for steady shooting at the range and at home.
Ammo and Practice
Feed this pistol quality factory ammo from a known brand. Shoot a few hundred rounds of practice ammo and at least a box of your chosen defensive load to confirm it runs reliably before you trust it for protection.
