Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a compelling option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, with consistent performance at typical engagement distances, making it a reliable choice for shooters prioritizing precision. The ergonomics are well-designed, featuring a grip texture that enhances control without being overly aggressive, fitting comfortably in a variety of hand sizes. Reliability is a strong suit, as it functions smoothly across a range of ammunition types with minimal malfunctions under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring more effort to disassemble and clean compared to other models in its class. Parts availability may also pose challenges for some users, particularly for aftermarket upgrades. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 6.5 pounds, though some may find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most, but noticeable during extended range sessions.

Have run 400+ rounds through it. 115g, 124g, and 147g FMJ. Also 124g hollow points. No malfunctions. Excellent grip texture. Trigger is okay...audible and tactile reset. Light to moderate recoil for a 19 oz. gun. Excellent build quality. Good choice for concealed carry or for keeping in your vehicle. Accurate enough for my point shooting at 3 yards. Reliable, safe and accurate...three must-have qualities.
