Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a full-sized 1911 platform tailored for suppressed use. Its accuracy is noteworthy, benefiting from a match-grade barrel and tight tolerances, making it a strong choice for precision shooting. The ergonomics are well-designed, with a comfortable grip and intuitive controls that suit a variety of hand sizes, enhancing user confidence during extended sessions. Reliability is generally solid, provided proper maintenance is followed, though it demands regular cleaning due to its tight fitment, which can be a drawback for those less inclined to meticulous care. Parts availability may pose challenges, as some components are less common compared to more ubiquitous 1911s. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4 pounds, contributing to shot consistency. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most experienced shooters, though newer users might find it somewhat stout.
