(5 out of 5) Max 9
by Joe from Columbus, Ohio on August 24, 2025

Great carry pistol, either pocket or outside of the waste band carry. Shoots easy and accurately, with manageable recoil.

(5 out of 5) Best Purchase I've Made!!
by John from Columbus, Ohio on December 15, 2025

This may be the ultimate carry weapon. It is small, lightweight, and very accurate. I carry it daily and barely recognize it's there. I have big hands, so I did have to put the magazine extensions on, but it was fine after that. I got back to our office, showed it to my business partner. He liked it so much that he immediately left and went and bought one for himself! This is perfect to carry in your waistband, purse, etc...
