Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a compelling blend of performance and design for shooters seeking a full-sized duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, benefiting from a well-balanced frame and a crisp, consistent trigger pull averaging around 4.4 pounds in single-action mode, which aids in precise shot placement. Ergonomically, the grip design accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with the pistol functioning smoothly across various ammunition types under diverse conditions. Felt recoil is moderate for its class, manageable even for less experienced shooters, thanks to the robust steel frame. However, maintenance can be somewhat involved, requiring attention to detail for proper care. Additionally, sourcing certain replacement parts may pose challenges due to limited availability. Overall, it’s a solid choice, though not without minor drawbacks for specific user needs.
