Analysis

This .45 Auto caliber revolver demonstrates notable precision, thanks to its well-balanced design and quality barrel construction. The ergonomics are commendable, with a grip that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, ensuring a secure hold during use. Reliability is a key asset, as it consistently performs under various conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to keep it in optimal condition. Parts availability may pose a challenge for some users, as sourcing replacements can be less straightforward compared to more common platforms. The trigger pull is smooth and crisp, averaging around 4-5 pounds in double-action mode, which aids in control. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to .45 Auto’s kick might find it slightly pronounced during extended sessions. Overall, it’s a solid choice with considerations for upkeep.
