Analysis

This compact polymer-framed, double-action 9mm handgun provides dependable operation for concealed carry or range activities, featuring a 15-round capacity and optics-ready slide that supports contemporary sighting preferences. Ergonomic enhancements include refined grip stippling and fully ambidextrous controls, promoting comfortable manipulation across various hand sizes. It delivers reliable accuracy, typically producing groups under two inches at 15 yards with proper optics. The trigger pull registers around 10 pounds in double action, characterized by a lengthy yet predictable stroke, transitioning to a lighter 3.5-pound single-action pull for subsequent shots. Felt recoil exhibits a noticeable snap owing to the shorter barrel and reduced mass, though it remains controllable for experienced users during strings of fire. Drawbacks involve a somewhat extended reset that may slow transitions and rear slide serrations that offer limited purchase for rapid racking. In summary, it presents a practical choice for shooters valuing modularity, but individuals sensitive to recoil might consider larger alternatives.
