SK Guns recently announced its collaboration with Phoenix Trinity Manufacturing to create the Sidekick, a double-stack, commander-sized 2011 pistol chambered in 9 mm Luger designed for concealed carry.

This new concealed carry option will be offered in two limited runs. The first is a run of 10 color case anodized, and the second run with 20 black anodized with blue physical vapor deposition (PVD) accents. Both runs also include a black, diamond-like carbon (DLC) slide and frame finish for enhanced durability.

The Sidekick sports a 4¼-inch bull barrel and Phoenix Trinity Manufacturing’s full-size Pro Evo Grip. A V-Port compensator is present to tame recoil and muzzle rise. On the rear, there is an SRO/RMR optics plate that allows for co-witness capability with the iron sights. Additionally, the front sight is made of green tritium, with LimuGreen outlining the front ring.

Each Sidekick pistol is designed and machined with “function first” in mind. An aggressive forward slide serration mimics a grande pattern with three horizontal cuts, complemented by forward tri-top vertical serrations going up and over the slide. This design is duplicated on the rear side panels. A unique trigger shoe mirroring the same horizontal cut accents meets an aggressive checkered trigger pad for a smooth pull. In addition, the mainspring housing grip safety is pined.

Two 19-round MBX Defender magazines are included with purchase of the Sidekick.

“SK and Phoenix have partnered to push the boundaries of firearm design by offering a high-quality, innovative option for everyday carry,” Simon Khiabani, the owner and founder of SK Guns said. “The Sidekick is poised to make waves in the personal protection market, combining style, functionality and reliability in one versatile carry option.”

Price for the Sidekick 2011 pistol starts at $6,999. Learn more at skguns.com.
