Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable for its class, delivering consistent performance at typical engagement distances. The ergonomic design fits well in most hands, with a grip that promotes a natural hold, enhancing control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly with a variety of ammunition under standard conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5-6 pounds, providing a predictable break that aids precision. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though follow-up shots may require slight adjustment for newer users. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, with disassembly requiring extra attention to detail. Availability of aftermarket parts and accessories may be limited compared to more mainstream models, potentially frustrating customization enthusiasts. Additionally, some users report occasional stiffness in controls, which could affect ease of operation over time.

A Good Gun

I bought two of these six years ago for $185 each from my LGS. After 500 rounds each they have proven reliable.
