Analysis

This 9mm striker-fired pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is noteworthy, with consistent grouping at typical engagement distances, aided by a crisp trigger pull averaging around 5 pounds that provides a clean break. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during rapid fire. Reliability is a key asset, with the firearm performing well under varied conditions and high round counts during testing. Felt recoil is moderate, making it manageable for most users, even during extended sessions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced owners. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts or accessories can be challenging in some regions, potentially limiting customization or repair options. Overall, it’s a solid choice with minor drawbacks to consider.
