Analysis

This 9mm double-action pistol offers a solid choice for shooters seeking a dependable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are user-friendly, with a grip that accommodates various hand sizes, promoting a secure hold during extended use. Reliability is a key asset, as it performs consistently under diverse conditions with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring attention to detail due to the complexity of certain components. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge for some owners, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is on the heavier side, which might not suit shooters preferring a lighter touch. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most users with proper technique, though it could feel pronounced for beginners.
