Analysis

This 9mm ultra-compact pistol offers a compelling package for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering tight groupings at typical engagement distances, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, it fits comfortably in most hands, with a grip that supports a secure hold despite its smaller frame. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the compact design, requiring more frequent cleaning to ensure consistent performance. Parts availability may also pose a challenge for some users, as specialized components are not always readily accessible. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which aids in precision. Felt recoil is moderate for its size, manageable for experienced shooters but potentially sharp for novices.

The trigger is extremely smooth and about 3 lbs. With the extra thick bull barrel it is very accurate
