Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a robust design tailored for shooters seeking a full-sized duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges due to a well-balanced frame and quality barrel. Ergonomically, the grip fits comfortably for most hand sizes, aiding in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with the pistol cycling smoothly through various ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, as disassembly requires attention to detail, and certain components may wear faster without diligent care. Parts availability could pose challenges, as sourcing replacements might not be as straightforward as with more common models. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, though some may find the double-action pull heavier than preferred. Felt recoil is manageable for a .45, though follow-up shots might require practice for newer shooters.
