Analysis

This 9mm hi-capacity pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and accurate firearm. Its precision is notable, delivering consistent groupings at typical defensive ranges, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for a variety of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the firearm performing well under diverse conditions and minimal malfunctions during testing. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in maintaining accuracy, though some may find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, even with sustained firing. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, and sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges. Additionally, shooters with smaller hands might find the grip width less accommodating over long periods. Overall, it’s a solid choice with a few considerations.
