Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid blend of traditional design and practical performance for shooters seeking a reliable carry or range option. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate distances, thanks to a well-balanced frame and crisp sight picture. The ergonomics cater to a wide range of hand sizes, with a grip that promotes a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with various ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to tighter tolerances, requiring more attention to detail during cleaning. Parts availability may also pose challenges for repairs or customization. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 4.5 pounds in single action, providing good control. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though those sensitive to kick might notice it during rapid fire.
