Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a balance of performance and practicality. Its accuracy is commendable, with consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for both target practice and defensive use. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in most hands, aiding in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with various ammunition types under typical conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a more complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less experienced users. Availability of replacement parts could also pose a challenge, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5 pounds, which provides a predictable break. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to kick might notice it during rapid fire. Overall, it’s a capable choice with minor drawbacks to consider.

Ol' Reliable
By Billy Bob Jo on 16 Dec 2017
Clone of the Jericho, but $350 cheaper. Got it for $345. Love the CZ platform, and CZ grips will fit on it. Once I upgraded to the CZ grips, it is perfect. I've fired 2000+ rounds through it without a single jam or FTE. Reliable and well built. The only drawback is that it's only accurate for up to 25 yards; but it's a home defense gun so. Only other drawback is that you can't rack the slide with the safety on to eject the chamber. Safety is easy and well placed, trigger is perfect. All around a great gun for the price. Only other choice would be a EAA Witness.
