Performance and Handling

The 18″ barrel and compensator combination improves muzzle control and mitigates felt recoil for follow-up shots, especially when paired with .45 ACP ammunition. The bore is described as bright with excellent rifling, which supports consistent groups and long-term accuracy. As a semi-auto carbine, its balance and longer sight radius offer precision benefits over shorter-barreled pistols while remaining comfortable for extended range sessions.

Caliber Benefits

In this carbine, expect reliable feeding and effective accuracy inside typical defensive and recreational ranges. The compensator further softens recoil impulses, making controlled rapid shots more practical.
