Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and accurate firearm for personal defense or range use. Its precision is noteworthy, with consistent groupings at moderate distances, making it a solid choice for both novice and experienced users. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during extended sessions, while the trigger pull is smooth and predictable, averaging around 5.5 pounds in double action and 4.4 pounds in single action. Felt recoil is moderate, well-managed by the firearm’s weight and balance, though not the lightest in its class. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat intricate, requiring attention to detail for proper care. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge in some regions. Additionally, shooters with smaller hands might find the grip slightly less accommodating, potentially affecting control during rapid fire.
