Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a balance of performance and practicality. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both target practice and defensive use. The ergonomic design fits well in most hands, with a grip that supports a natural point of aim. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with a variety of ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, potentially limiting long-term ownership appeal. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, though some may find the reset slightly vague. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, ensuring control during rapid fire without excessive fatigue.
