Its accuracy is commendable for a compact handgun of its era, providing consistent performance at short to medium ranges. The ergonomics are surprisingly user-friendly, with a grip that fits well in most hands, aiding in control during firing. Reliability is generally solid, though it demands regular maintenance to prevent malfunctions due to its age and design.
