Analysis

This 9mm polymer-framed pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip fits a wide range of hand sizes, providing a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the design handling various ammunition types without frequent malfunctions under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, as disassembly requires attention to detail and may challenge less experienced users. Parts availability can also be an issue in certain regions, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is smooth but slightly heavy in double-action mode, which might affect initial shot precision for some. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though follow-up shots may require adjustment for those sensitive to feedback.
