Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and accurate firearm for both personal defense and range use. Its precision is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings even under rapid fire, 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 pistol performing well across diverse conditions and ammunition types. The trigger pull is smooth and crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds in single action, which aids in maintaining accuracy. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, though it may feel slightly sharp for those unaccustomed to compact designs.

Overall, it’s a solid choice with minor caveats for certain users.
