Analysis

This .40 S&W semi-automatic pistol, hailing from a respected Israeli manufacturer, offers a robust design tailored for both duty and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, with a well-balanced barrel and sight system that aids in consistent shot placement. Ergonomically, the grip fits a wide range of hand sizes, providing a secure hold during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it performs consistently under varied conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring attention to detail to keep it in optimal condition. Parts availability may pose a challenge for some users, particularly outside of major markets. The trigger pull is smooth with a predictable break, though it might feel slightly heavy for those accustomed to lighter mechanisms. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, but noticeable with prolonged use in this caliber.
