I agree, it's too large. Lopping 1/4 inch barrel length from the full size is meaningless. I can't believe they even bother. I guess we will wait a bit to get official numbers but, if the above is correct, they only shortened the overall pistol by 1/10 inch. My M&Pc 1.0 is a lot easier for me to conceal on my hip than my wife's G19 so I guess I am one who doesn't think the G19 is so wonderful size wise.
