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:
“There are very many characteristics which go into making a model civil servant. Prominent among them are probity, industry, good sense, good habits, good temper, patience, order, courtesy, tact, self-reliance, many deference to superior officers, and many consideration for inferiors.”
—Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
“I had but three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
