Analysis

This subcompact pistol in .40 S&W delivers commendable accuracy for its size, making it a viable option for concealed carry or backup roles. The ergonomic design fits well in smaller hands, offering a secure grip despite the compact frame, though larger-handed shooters may find it less comfortable over extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent performance during testing under varied conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the tight tolerances of its design, requiring more frequent cleaning to ensure optimal function. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge, as they are not as widely stocked as those for more common models. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids precision. Felt recoil is noticeable, as expected in a lightweight .40 S&W platform, potentially affecting follow-up shots for less experienced users.
