Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable carry or duty firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both defensive and target use. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, accommodating various hand sizes with ease, which enhances control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm cycling smoothly through a variety of ammunition types under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts can also be an issue in some regions, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds in single action, though some may find the double-action pull heavier than preferred. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper technique.
