Analysis

This .45 Auto polymer-framed carry pistol offers a solid option for those seeking a balance of power and concealability. Its accuracy is commendable, with consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both self-defense and range practice. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in most hands, aiding in control during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles well with a variety of ammunition under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly for thorough cleaning. Parts availability may pose a challenge, as sourcing replacements or upgrades isn’t always straightforward. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids precision but may feel heavy for some users. Felt recoil is noticeable, as expected in this caliber, though the frame helps mitigate it to a manageable level for experienced shooters.
