Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol, hailing from a well-known Israeli manufacturer, offers a robust design tailored for both duty and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, benefiting from a well-balanced frame and a crisp trigger pull averaging around 5 pounds in single action, which aids in precise shot placement. Ergonomically, the grip fits a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent performance even under harsh conditions, thanks to its durable steel construction. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, allowing for quick follow-up shots.

Overall, it’s a dependable choice, though not without minor drawbacks for some users.
