Analysis

This compact 9mm polymer pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking a reliable everyday carry or range companion. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate distances, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for a variety of hand sizes, aiding in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the firearm performing well under diverse conditions and minimal malfunctions reported during testing. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 5.5 pounds, providing a predictable break that enhances shot placement. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though it may feel slightly sharp for newer shooters. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to tighter tolerances in the design, requiring more attention to cleaning. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially delaying repairs. Additionally, some users might find the slide release stiff, impacting ease of operation.
