Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable and accurate firearm for personal defense or range use. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate distances, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are thoughtfully crafted, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, promoting a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly with a range of ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring more frequent cleaning to prevent wear on internal components. Parts availability may also pose a challenge for some users, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in precision shooting, while the felt recoil is noticeable but manageable for most experienced shooters, though novices might find it a bit stout.

Accurate, inexpensive and concealable but not a pistol for the uninitiated. Double action only pistol with a long heavy trigger pull. A simple take down and high polish to the trigger face tremendously improves the action of the weapon and its accuracy. Sad it is no longer in production, it was a reliable gun for every man.

The gun itself was great until the parts failed. I sent it to the company to be repaired and never got it back. They told me for 6 months they didn't have any new extractors.
