Analysis

This .40 S&W semi-automatic pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a full-sized duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, with tight groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both target practice and tactical applications. The ergonomics are well-designed, providing a comfortable grip for a variety of hand sizes, which aids in control during extended sessions. Reliability is generally consistent, with few reported malfunctions under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts can also be an issue, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action, though some may find the double-action pull heavier than preferred. Felt recoil is manageable for the caliber, though it can be noticeable during rapid fire, requiring proper technique to maintain accuracy.
