Analysis

This 9mm pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a dependable firearm for personal defense or range use. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate distances, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, aiding in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the pistol performing well under varied conditions and minimal malfunctions reported during testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, as disassembly and cleaning require more effort than some comparable models. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is smooth with a moderate break at around 5.5 pounds, suitable for both novice and experienced users. Felt recoil is manageable, though shooters with smaller frames might notice slightly more kick than expected from a compact design in this caliber.
