Smith never made a "compact " model in their line up. The one they called "compact" is actually a "Sub-compact ". I guess they figured they would compete against everyone that makes a true compact model like the G19, CZ P10C, Springfield XD, and a few others in this category. They actually went straight for the G19's throat. Side by side, these two are exactly the same dimensions. When I heard and saw this, I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. I've always wanted a G19 sized (and capacity) carry pistol but, didn't want a G19. I knew with Smith's ergos, reliable history, and let's be honest....good looks, I had to have it. 15+ 1 plus I can carry and use a full size spare mag (17 rounds) if I wanted, what's not to like. All I need now is to throw some lead down range and order a new holster, and this bad boy will reside on my hip.
