Analysis

This 9mm double-stack handgun offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a high-capacity option in a familiar platform. Its accuracy is noteworthy, with tight groupings achievable at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and slide fit. Ergonomically, the grip accommodates a variety of hand sizes, and the textured surface ensures a secure hold during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with consistent performance across thousands of rounds in testing, even under varied conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4.5 pounds, providing a predictable break for precise shooting. Felt recoil is manageable, softened by the pistol’s weight and design, making follow-up shots quicker. However, maintenance can be somewhat involved due to the complexity of the double-stack design, requiring diligent care. Aftermarket parts availability may also be limited compared to more established platforms, potentially frustrating customization enthusiasts. Some users might find the overall size less ideal for concealed carry.
