Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol from a well-regarded custom builder offers a blend of precision craftsmanship and practical design for serious shooters. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering tight groupings at typical defensive ranges, thanks to a meticulously fitted barrel and slide. Ergonomically, the grip provides a secure hold, accommodating a wide range of hand sizes with textured panels for enhanced control. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent feeding and ejection during extended testing across various ammunition types. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. However, felt recoil is somewhat sharp due to the lightweight frame, potentially fatiguing for newer shooters during long sessions. Maintenance can be demanding, requiring attention to detail for optimal performance, and sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges due to the custom nature of the build. Overall, it’s a solid choice for experienced users.
