Analysis

This .45 Auto pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a full-size 1911-style handgun. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering tight groupings at typical defensive ranges, thanks to a well-fitted barrel and bushing design. Ergonomically, the grip provides a comfortable hold for most hand sizes, with textured panels aiding control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent feeding and ejection across various ammunition types during testing. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds, which enhances precision without feeling overly light for a carry gun. Felt recoil is manageable, softened by the steel frame, though it remains noticeable with hotter loads. On the downside, maintenance can be more involved due to the traditional design, requiring regular attention to prevent wear. Parts availability may also pose challenges for some users, and the weight could deter those prioritizing concealability.
