Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and user-friendly firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance at typical defensive ranges, while the ergonomic grip design ensures a comfortable hold for a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with the pistol functioning well under varied conditions and with different ammunition types. The trigger pull is smooth, with a crisp break averaging around 5.5 pounds, making it predictable for most users. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable even for less experienced shooters.

Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging in some regions, potentially delaying repairs. Overall, it’s a solid choice, though not without minor hurdles for certain users.
