Analysis

This 9mm striker-fired pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a duty-grade firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at typical defensive ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip provides a secure hold with customizable backstraps to fit various hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with the design enduring rigorous testing under diverse conditions without frequent malfunctions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can pose challenges, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull, averaging around 6 pounds, offers a crisp break but may feel heavy for some preferring lighter pulls. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though follow-up shots might require slight adjustment for optimal speed. Overall, it’s a solid choice with minor drawbacks to consider.
