Analysis

This .40 S&W semi-automatic pistol offers a solid blend of performance and practicality for shooters seeking a duty-grade firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, with a well-balanced design that aids in consistent shot placement during range sessions or defensive scenarios. The ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, featuring a grip that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control and comfort. Reliability is a strong suit, as it functions smoothly across various ammunition types and under diverse conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring more frequent attention to keep it in optimal shape. Parts availability may pose challenges for some users, particularly in less-served regions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds in single-action mode, though some may find it slightly heavy in double-action. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most, but newer shooters might notice a sharper kick with hotter loads.
