If practice makes perfect then the smallest gun I want to carry is one that I will feel comfortable practicing with. I understand seasoned shooters can handle the sub well, I just doubt everyone falls into that category.

The feel of compact while shooting verses the feel of subcompact while wearing comes down to what you are more sensitive to. I could get used to wearing an inch longer, 3/4" taller, 1/2" wider gun before I could used to practicing with a two finger grip. All day for me, though I don't carry yet because I don't feel comfortable enough with my LEM pistol. I have to put a ton more lead downrange before I pull this out in public.

Conversely, if you don't carry the gun because it's too big it doesn't do any good.

Although all these fools on this board who talk about packing heat in running shorts crack me up. Never heard of anyone getting mugged for their New Balance 990's.
