Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid blend of performance and practicality for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, aiding in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the firearm functioning well under varied conditions with proper care. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 5-6 pounds in double-action mode, though some may find the transition to single-action less crisp. Felt recoil is manageable, even with hotter loads, making it suitable for newer shooters. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to its older design, and sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges. Additionally, the weight might feel excessive for concealed carry users prioritizing lighter options.
