Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and user-friendly firearm. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent performance on target during range testing, even at extended distances. The ergonomics are well-thought-out, with a grip design that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, enhancing control and comfort during prolonged use. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly through various ammunition types without frequent malfunctions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in maintaining precision. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though not the softest in its class. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to tight tolerances, requiring more effort for cleaning. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges, as availability is limited in some regions, potentially frustrating owners needing quick repairs.
