Legal status: In many countries (including South Africa), ownership of semi‑automatic pistols is heavily regulated. Licensing, registration, permits needed. Whether such a pistol is legal for private ownership or only for law enforcement/police is something you’ll need to check locally.
Ammunition availability & cost: 9mm is common, which is a plus. But check local supply & price.
Ergonomics & shootability: Trigger pull in SA/DA pistols tends to be heavier in double‑action. If accuracy or speed matters, might want to try one before buying if possible.
