Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a dependable semi-automatic handgun. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent performance at typical defensive ranges, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, aiding in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the firearm functioning well under varied conditions and with different ammunition types. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring more effort than some competing models due to its design intricacies. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose a challenge, as availability is not as widespread as with more common platforms. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action, which many will find suitable for precision shooting. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though those sensitive to kick might notice it during rapid fire sequences.
