Analysis

This 9mm polymer-framed pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking a reliable and user-friendly firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at typical self-defense and target ranges. The ergonomic design fits well in most hands, with a grip texture that provides a secure hold without being overly aggressive. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly through various ammunition types with minimal malfunctions during extended testing. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement, while the felt recoil is moderate, making it manageable for shooters of different experience levels. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a less intuitive disassembly process. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially frustrating owners needing quick repairs. Overall, it’s a solid choice, though some may find these drawbacks worth considering before purchase.
