Just to say it, pocket pistols just don't have the gravitas (and capacity or reliabiy) that a full sized pistol does when presented. Also, micro/sub compact pistols are hard to grip because they're so damn small. I've concealed carried larger guns easily, like 1911s, even in the summer. With...

I agree with this 100%. There's just so many reasons the 1911 platform is amazing...

Hey, all. First post! I recently purchased an XDm Elite 9mm Compact pistol (my fifth Springfield pistol!). and also purchased 2 of the XDm Elite 20+1 magazines. Was hoping you Springfield die-hards could help me with a question about the new elite compact model: I was wondering if the old XDm...
