Analysis

This 9mm polymer-framed pistol offers a compelling package for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a strong point, with a grip that accommodates various hand sizes through interchangeable backstraps, enhancing control during firing. Reliability is solid, with minimal malfunctions reported even under demanding conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, providing a predictable break that aids precision. Felt recoil is manageable, softened by the frame’s design, making it suitable for extended range sessions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to intricate disassembly processes, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, aftermarket parts and accessories are not as widely available as for other platforms, potentially limiting customization. Overall, it’s a capable choice with minor drawbacks for specific needs.

Some Gunz Make It Easier!
By JediSayia on 11 Jan 2025
This was a "Black Friday" Acquisition. The accuracy on the pistol forced me to move my targets out to 15 & 20 yards for it to be a challenge. It is NOT a conceal carry tool and that may be a good thing. If I could shoot this good, this far out with my carry pistols, I would be vigilante inspired.
