All I carry is a small Swiss Army knife, the extra small version, so why would I have any desire to have one of GT's knifes???? Cause they look damn good. LOL

I have several old saw blades... I might be able to keep GT in material for a while! Ill admit to a knife addiction and I get some satisfaction seeing GT's knives sold out before I see them for sale... It saves me from the temptation!

Photos do not do these knives justice! Thanks again, GT!

I emailed her recently and she responded almost right away. You dont often see that kind of customer service in government.

A.J. I pretty much agree with what you have written and will sum it up with this. Size matters. That's the key to this whole thread. Even the smallest changes in width, length, or girth seem to have an amazing amount of effect on how we react to a pistol of any size. While the physical dimensions are relatively similar between the compacts and subcompacts, it is just enough for individuals to appreciate in one fashion or another. Take me for example. I've been a Shield fan-boy since the first time I held and fired one. Never wavered. Now here I am going gaga over the very slight differences between it and the G43X. It's just those subtle differences that resonate with me...and likely is going to have me raving about, and changing to, the G43X for my EDC. I do however, reserve the right to change my mind at the drop of a pin on this and everything else I might write here. lol

Interesting thread, especially since I'm going down this path with non Glocks. First off, ever since I saw compact and C model designations and compared to their full size counter parts, compact? Really? Best I can tell, compacts are slightly shorter in length and height. Unscientifically, overlayed a P01 and 75B, G17 to. G19. Trickery, they are nigh identical, shedidng only a few ounces. I also discovered sub compacts are only slightly smaller again, but it's the grip height vs. slide length that impacts concealment. I think width applies for more form fitting attire and hand ergonomics. The issue I have with double stack subs is 2 fingers on what feels like a fat grip with flush mag, e.g. G26, Rami P, P224. The Glock and Sig don'tfeel quite right in my medium sized hands, add the mag extension for 3 fingers, better feel. The other challenge is the shorter sight radius on an SC, learned that in a class. And Glock jumps in with a compact, single stack. Innovative? Not particularly, considering 1911 commanders are sold everyday in 9mm, KAHR is in the niche, and Germanic gun-makers have a history with the P1, P6/225, and P7/8 I entered the arena with a Walther CCP M2 (on sale at Smoky Mountain and they took my PK380 in on trade, $114.32 cash OTD) Dimensionally it fits between my SDP and RAMI P with flush mag. It has similar weight to the RAMI. Insert the 14 round mag and the CCP and Rami are the same height. To address width, the grips of a CCP and Rami P are about the same, it's the slide that is thinner and more svelte looking in comparison. With the posts of prior, "not really a Glock shooter, but like this one," is good for Glock. 10+1 will get you through 80% of the 3-3-3 encounters, an extra single stack mag is usually easier to carry, and less weight in a shootable pistol is a good thing. Add what you should expect with reliability = happy gun owner.

Six months from now, a loader will appear for it. I know things. lol

Going for accuracy

Not necessarily.

I finally read this last year. It was such a good read and recommend it to all.

I agree! Never Forget!

NO! NO! NO!

Best line in that whole movie.
