I hear that a lot from guys when they find I carry an XDS, many will say "The XD subcompact is barely any larger, higher capacity, etc etc.". A couple tenths of an inch here and there can make a HUGE difference, but some folks just don't want to really understand that everyone has different needs. People should embrace the fact there a LOT of good carry choices out currently. Before recently it was about 12 years ago the last time I went looking for something subcompact and I think that Kahr was the only real viable option, now it'll make your head spin with what's available and it took me over a month to decide on what I wanted.

If you go back 20 years it was a Seecamp 32 was your only good choice. The firearms industry has really grown over the last few decades. Competition is a wonderful thing!
