Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking a balance of performance and practicality. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both casual plinking and defensive applications. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm cycling smoothly across various ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a more complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can pose challenges, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action mode, providing a predictable break. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick may notice it during rapid fire.
