Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a dependable compact firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, which suits both casual and defensive use. The ergonomics are well-thought-out, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, promoting a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly across various ammunition types with minimal malfunctions under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a design that requires more effort for disassembly and cleaning compared to similar models. Parts availability may also pose a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids precision, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users but possibly noticeable for those sensitive to kick in a compact frame. Overall, it’s a capable choice with minor drawbacks to consider.
