Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a robust design tailored for both duty and personal defense. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance at typical engagement distances, thanks to a well-balanced barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are thoughtfully executed, with a grip that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly under various conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring meticulous attention to keep it in optimal condition. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially frustrating owners needing repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5-6 pounds in single-action mode, though some users might find the double-action pull heavier than preferred. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper grip and stance.
