Analysis

This 9mm double-action-only pistol offers a solid performance for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip fits a wide range of hand sizes, promoting a natural point of aim and comfortable handling during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the design proving durable under varied conditions and high round counts. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, as disassembly and cleaning require attention to detail and patience. Parts availability may pose challenges for some users, particularly for older variants, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull, while smooth, is on the heavier side, which might not suit all shooters. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most, though less experienced users may notice it during rapid fire.
