I may be wrong but I think one of the requirements for the Army MHS contract was the ability to use the same frame for compact as well as full size. Also my M&P 40C has a "C" after the caliber to denote compact. The new compact dropped the "C" and just has a shorter slide. I always thought the idea for a compact was a shorter grip. To make it easier to conceal. The slide length actually doesn't matter that much for concealment unless you are using a shoulder holster. I guess we will need to wait and see if a 2.0 Sub-compact comes out.
