EDC - Carry comfort vs performance .
Is carrying a compact instead of a sub compact, ie 43x vs G19 potentially a better Idea when it comes to a real life defensive situation, despite the drawbacks of a larger footprint & concealment?

Such an understated no BS pistol.
Tough question , I tried the G48 today and really enjoyed it . I'm told it's the same as the 43x but would like to gleen some insight from anyone whose familiar with both. Does the 48's xtra length really make any difference in the real world ?

I'm thinking Glock will have to be releasing a 43x.6 soon . Their new 15 round mags aren't flush fit like the Shield mags ... maybe because the grip shape/well of the gen 6 will be different . Also there is so much they need to do to keep up with a fast moving market - like stippling , proper optic platform maybe backstraps ...
Am looking for a sub compact and was thinking of the RXM with the sub frame . I know it'll be a sub with 4" barrel which is not standard spec but maybe that's a good thing ?
I keep going back to the pdp as an option - it's a little bigger than I was wanting for edc but it's such a well finished gun .
