Analysis

This pistol in .40 S&W caliber offers a solid option for shooters seeking a compact, duty-ready firearm. Its accuracy proves commendable, with consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both defensive and target use. The ergonomics are well-considered, providing a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, which aids in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly with various ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the design of certain internal components, requiring patience and familiarity. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, particularly for those outside major markets. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, which might not suit shooters preferring a lighter break. Felt recoil is noticeable but manageable, aligning with expectations for the caliber, though it could be a consideration for less experienced users.
