Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable concealed carry or duty firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at typical defensive ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, promoting a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly with a wide range of ammunition under diverse conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring more time and attention than some comparable models. Parts availability may also pose a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, which aids precision. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though those sensitive to kick might notice it during rapid fire. Overall, it’s a practical choice with some trade-offs.
