Balance is the constant. We should always prioritize the right tool for the job.
Time and time again, we see people intentionally select subcompact pistols for concealed carry, failing to realize that their current skill level doesn't support the reduced shootability those platforms demand.
The majority of shooters quickly realize that responsible speed and accuracy are far more achievable with compactor better yet, full-size-pistols.
This common failure occurs when comfort in concealment is prioritized over capability. Real confidence stems from competence, not convenience.
Sometimes the more capable tool is less comfortable to carry, yet infinitely more comforting when you possess the skill to run it well.
