Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a reliable and accurate firearm. Its precision is noteworthy, delivering consistent performance on target, whether for casual range use or more demanding scenarios. The ergonomics are well-thought-out, with a grip that accommodates various hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly under diverse conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.4 pounds in single action, providing a predictable break that aids accuracy. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users, even during rapid fire. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat involved, requiring attention to detail for optimal performance. Availability of specific replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially delaying repairs. Additionally, some shooters might find the weight less ideal for concealed carry compared to lighter alternatives.

Pistol looks good and is well balanced. Hardly any muzzle flip. Does not like certain "lower tier" ammo. Overall, a great gun.
