The pistol also comes with easily removable grip panels to better accommodate smaller-handed shooters. Given the high-recoil nature of the 10mm auto round, the S3P is fitted with a proprietary magnetomechanical multi-spring operating rod to reduce recoil to levels associated with handguns chambered in 9mm Parabellum, and to allow faster follow up shots. This technology allowed the S3P to achieve lower felt recoils during testing than the heavier, 9mm chambered [[East Systems SA2]]. The double action, single action (DA/SA) model has no manual safety, instead featuring a frame-mounted, ambidextrous decocking lever, allowing the weapon to be safely deactivated and holstered.
