Compact 45

The RubiconRubicon Industries Compact 45 is a .45 Auto caliber pistol. It is notably featured in Black Pegasus.
== History ==
The Compact 45 was also created as a response to the MK9 Vendetta and the MK226's lack of sufficient stopping power against armored combatants in 2003. When the MK45 was the first candidate, it wasn't really suitable despite it's good performance and reliability, it was tad uncomfortable with a non rubberized grip.
The second candidate was the MK50 Hawk, but it was quickly rejected as Rubicon was exaggerating with a 50 Caliber Handgun, so Rubicon developed a more advanced and compact version of the MK45. It was the "Compact X45". It was a concealed carry weapon, due to it's compact size, but without sacrificing muzzle velocity and accuracy despite being less powerful and accurate than it's predecessor, it is more customizable and less difficult to use.
== Design ==
The Compact 45 represents an evolutionary advancement of the Rubicon MK45, and shares the same operating principles of that weapon. The Compact 45 is a 'concealed carry' size model pistol, but significant effort went towards making it more ergonomic than the MK45 full-size chambered in .45 Auto by incorporating minor features found on the MK9 Vendetta. These include an extended ambidextrous slide release, a textured ergonomic grip with finger grooves, and interchangeable backstraps to fit differently sized hands.
The newer grip and backstraps allow the pistol to sit lower into the web of the hand, contributing to greater control of the weapon and recoil management. In order to accommodate the smaller, more ergonomic grip, the Compact 45 has a magazine capacity of 10 rounds. Compact 45 also added grip serrations on the front end of the slide, a Picatinny rail in front of the trigger guard for mounting accessories, and an O-ring polygonal barrel. The externals are made of extensive Polymers, reinforced with Nevium, while the slide, barrel and 80% of it's metallic components are made either 9090 Titanium Alloy and Nevium, but the barrel is 80% Nevium.
