Analysis

This stainless steel .45 Auto pistol offers a robust platform for shooters seeking a full-sized duty or competition firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering tight groupings at 25 yards with proper ammunition selection. The ergonomic grip design accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, providing a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with consistent performance across thousands of rounds when maintained properly. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring meticulous cleaning to prevent corrosion in humid environments due to its finish. Parts availability may pose challenges for some users, as certain components are not as widely stocked as those for more common models. The trigger pull, averaging around 5 pounds in single-action, feels crisp and predictable. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable with proper grip, though newer shooters might find it stout during rapid fire.
