Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at typical engagement distances, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip fits a wide range of hand sizes, providing a secure hold that enhances control during rapid fire. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm cycling smoothly across various ammunition types during extended testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, as disassembly requires careful attention to detail, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts could also pose a challenge in some regions, limiting long-term support. 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 moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper technique.
