Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and user-friendly firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance at typical engagement distances, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with the pistol functioning well across various ammunition types and conditions. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 5 pounds in double-action mode, transitioning to a lighter single-action pull, which aids in precision shooting. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, even during rapid fire. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, potentially frustrating less experienced owners. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges in certain regions, and some shooters might find the overall weight less ideal for concealed carry.

My first polymer/striker fire pistol
By Diecapsule78 on 05 Aug 2020
I liked the SA/DA with decocker option for a striker fired pistol. I had some issues with steel cased 115 grain Tulammo. Through the first magazine i put in it, I had 15 FTE's. Not sure if it was the magazine & mix of ammo but I was a little miffed at first. However, it fired every shot after that without issue, about 175 rounds total. It takes a little getting used to the trigger/action of the pistol. Definitely recommend dry firing & practicing with it prior to firing down the range. After a rough start, I'm overall very happy with my purchase of this firearm.
