Chambered in 9mm, this model balances stopping power with manageability, making it ideal for new shooters, seniors, or anyone who values smooth function over brute force. The Orchid polymer frame adds bold personal style, while the stainless steel slide resists wear and corrosion for long-lasting performance.
