Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid choice for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance at typical engagement distances, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are user-friendly, with a grip that accommodates various hand sizes and provides a secure hold during firing. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly across a wide range of ammunition types with minimal malfunctions under regular use. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a design that requires extra effort for disassembly and cleaning. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge in some regions, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper technique, though follow-up shots may require adjustment for less experienced users.
