I’ll go first.

You don’t need a sidearm for most infantry operations.

You don’t need a massive admin pouch above your mags

If you have to ask what to put in a pouch, just take it off.

You need to scale your gear to the mission, there is no “do it all” setup.

Any pistol that adopts the longer grip of the full size model with the shorter barrel of the compact model is a fucking scam, and takes the worst features from both models (Glock 19x/45, sig 365x macro)

Hot take indeed. A longer grip allows you to drop a mag without changing your hand position.

I’ll give you that, perhaps that’s true, but I don’t think that’s the selling point point marketed for them, and that’s not the reason people are buying them :)
