Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a solid choice for shooters seeking a compact 1911-style design. Its accuracy proves consistent at typical defensive ranges, benefiting from a well-balanced frame that aids in target acquisition. The ergonomics cater to a wide range of hand sizes, with a grip that provides a secure hold during firing. Reliability is commendable, functioning smoothly across various ammunition types with minimal malfunctions in testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to keep it in optimal condition. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds, which enhances control, though some may find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most users with proper grip, though less experienced shooters might notice it more during extended sessions.
