Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a compelling package for competitive shooters and enthusiasts seeking performance on a budget. Its accuracy is noteworthy, aided by a match-grade barrel and a crisp trigger pull that breaks cleanly at around 4.5 pounds, providing excellent control during rapid fire. Ergonomically, the grip design accommodates a wide range of hand sizes with interchangeable backstraps, ensuring a secure hold. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent feeding and ejection across various ammunition types during extended testing. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable even for newer shooters, thanks to the balanced weight distribution. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, aftermarket parts and accessories are not as widely available as for more established platforms, potentially limiting customization options for some owners.

2017 Handgun of the year
By StrayKatJJL on 23 Apr 2020
I have owned this for less then a year - shot 500 rds or so and am very very happy with it. This is single action only. Accuracy is amazing with 4" barrel and recoil is nill. I mounted a Vortex sight on - which is why I bought this and quite fun to shoot with. - my only objectionable comment is for CC it is not so great. Its a very big pistol especially with a red dot. Also if you carry one in the pipe you now have a hair trigger in the holster (and red dot on). Although with a proper holster this can be argued as not a problem. However for me I cant seem to get used to it as there is no safety. I have replaced this for cc with a SW stub 357 revolver. If I want to strut my stuff this goes on my hip.
