Options and Model Numbers
A K prefix in the model number indicates stainless steel parts. The suffixes D indicates a decocker model, and (DAO) indicates a Double-Action-Only model. For example, a P89 with a stainless steel slide that only has a decocker would be a KP89D.
This chart lists the various options that are or were available. It only lists standard catalog items; special two tone "T" and "TH" models were and are available through special distributor deals; these models are generally sold at a slightly reduced price, include only 1 magazine, a different case, and have a blued slide on the lighter colored aluminum frame normally used for stainless models.
Table codes:
- Blued: blued steel slide
- SS: stainless steel slide
- Al: Aluminum alloy frame; dark gray on blued models and light gray on stainless, except two tone models which use light gray with blued slides.
- Poly: glass reinforced polymer frame
- PR: Picatinny rail on dust cover
- CA: Listed on California approved handgun list
- MA: Listed on Massachusetts approved handgun list

Famous quotes containing the words model and/or numbers:
“She represents the unavowed aspiration of the male human being, his potential infidelity—and infidelity of a very special kind, which would lead him to the opposite of his wife, to the “woman of wax” whom he could model at will, make and unmake in any way he wished, even unto death.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
“Our religion vulgarly stands on numbers of believers. Whenever the appeal is made—no matter how indirectly—to numbers, proclamation is then and there made, that religion is not. He that finds God a sweet, enveloping presence, who shall dare to come in?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
