Analysis

This Serbian-made pistol in .40 S&W caliber offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, with consistent groupings at typical engagement distances, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a strong point, as the grip fits comfortably in most hands, promoting a natural shooting stance. Reliability is generally dependable under varied conditions, with minimal malfunctions during extended testing. 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 certain regions, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds in single action, though some may find it slightly heavy in double action. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper grip and technique, aligning with expectations for this caliber.
