Are micro 9's a trend?

Ironically he just dropped this video an hour ago about why he stopped carrying his shield plus. It's because he's now carrying an even smaller gun lol.

I almost got shot by a pimp in Oakland last night, he can keep the tiny guns lol. happy to have the PDP compact and 15+1

Just watched this lol. People do love the BG 2.0 (I heard early ones had probs). I'm shopping for a smaller gun as all my pistols are full-size. That said, the BG is too small as I don't carry. I think I'll go with an M&P9 3.6 because I already have a bunch of mags for my other M&P. Cross compatibility in caliber and magazines is a plus for me.

.380, could never be me. I really don't think there is a noticeable increase in comfort from a subcompact to the Shield

I notice a difference in comfort from subcompact to a shield. It's mostly in the thickness of the gun. Not saying a subcompact can't be comfortable to carry. Just saying I do notice a difference.

I think it also depends which subcompact you're referring to. The P2000sk's geometry makes it exceptionally easy to carry. Other guns like the VP9SK feel much bulkier even if the dimensions are similar on paper.

Yeah something about the P2000SK just flows so well. It is amazing
 
I'd love to try out the S&W CSX E-Series with the 3.6" barrel. Compatible in size to the P365, albeit a little thicker. Supposedly a better trigger and grip. And most seem to say it shoots better

Only thing I see that gives me pause is the safety location. A few mentioned it being uncomfortable or beating up their hand when shooting

And possibly the SA only trigger

Wonder if it will ever get on the roster
