Analysis

This compact 9mm pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry, with a design focused on ease of use and performance. Its accuracy is commendable for a subcompact firearm, delivering consistent groupings at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomics are well-suited for smaller hands, with a grip that promotes a natural hold, though larger-handed shooters may find it less comfortable. Reliability is a strong point, functioning smoothly with various ammunition types during extended testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a tighter assembly, requiring patience and specific tools. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some owners. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 6 pounds, which aids precision but might feel stiff for beginners. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though follow-up shots may require slight adjustment due to the lightweight frame.
