So my friend and I were window shopping for his next carry pistol. He had a 9mm for awhile but sold it for a Glock 29. Nothing wrong and he swears by the 10mm. He also has a .380 and for the longest time, carried the Bodyguard, but recently switched to a 42 because he called it the perfect pocket gun...even though he hasn't found the right IWB holster for it and doesn't think kydex IWB works...weird. Anyway, he was set to get a Glock 19 but then decided to go smaller to the 26 not because it is smaller, but on the sole reason that it is designed to take all the mags of its bigger brothers...and nothing else. He wasn't even going to argue the size and doesn't mind keeping it as an HD gun. I asked why not the 19 since it's once size up and is considered a combat pistol on par to "full size" guns. He rolled his eyes at me metaphorically and mentioned how the 26 takes all the mags and the 19 only takes its own and 1 step above. He also hates the idea of the "fun stick" because on the sole concept that it doesn't come with grip sleeves to prevent you from holding it wrong and inducing a malfunction.
I am just scratching my head on how he thinks a 26 can truly match its large brothers in terms of all forms of usage. I said if the compact is so superior and just as good as full size why doesn't even military and LEO use subcompact guns as a primary choice. He doesn't care what institutions think, but his own logic.
