Analysis

This 9mm compact pistol offers a compelling option for concealed carry and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, it fits comfortably in a variety of hand sizes, with a grip texture that ensures a secure hold under stress. Reliability is a strong point, as it functions smoothly across a range of ammunition types with minimal malfunctions during extended testing. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 6.1 pounds, providing a predictable break that aids precision. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters, though follow-up shots may require slight adjustment for newer users. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat intricate due to the design of internal components, potentially frustrating those unfamiliar with detailed disassembly. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges in certain regions, limiting long-term support for some owners.

Perhaps one of the best fitting handguns

I love mine, it has an outstanding trigger, excellent sights and perhaps some of the best ergonomics on a handgun. I added Talon grip tape and this makes it nice and grippy to shoot.
