Analysis

This compact 9mm pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable carry or backup firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-aligned barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip fits comfortably for most hand sizes, enhancing control during rapid fire. Reliability is a key asset, with the design handling various ammunition types without frequent malfunctions under standard conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though it may feel slightly sharp during extended sessions.

Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially delaying repairs. This firearm suits general shooters, though those prioritizing ease of upkeep might explore alternatives.
