Analysis

This 9mm striker-fired pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking a duty-grade firearm. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a clear strength, with a grip that adapts well to various hand sizes, promoting a natural point of aim. Reliability is solid, functioning smoothly across a wide range of ammunition types during extended testing. The trigger pull, averaging around 5.5 pounds, provides a crisp break with a short reset, aiding in rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is manageable, even during prolonged sessions, due to the balanced frame design. However, maintenance can be somewhat involved, requiring attention to detail for proper care. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges for some users, and the grip texture might feel overly aggressive for those with sensitive hands.
