Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a compelling option for shooters seeking a full-sized duty or competition firearm. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a strong point, with a grip that accommodates various hand sizes, providing a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is generally solid, functioning well under diverse conditions with proper care. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts can also be a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, though some may find the reset slightly long. Felt recoil is manageable for a .45, aided by the firearm’s weight and design, making it suitable for most shooters with adequate training.
