Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a balance of performance and affordability. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both casual plinking and defensive use. The ergonomics are well-designed, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, providing comfort during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly with a range of ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a more complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Parts availability could also pose a challenge, as replacements are not as widely accessible as for more common models. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5-6 pounds, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick might notice it during rapid fire.
