A lot of people said they think it’s for the appendix carry market, shorter slide, easier to carry in front.
While i think it serves that purpose, more likely I think it’s a pre release of the short slide because we are going to be seeing a 2.0 sub compact coming along here shortly using the 3.6” barrel on a chopped down compact frame, prob 12+1 like the 1.0 9c.
Plus all these different variations allow S&W from a marketing standpoint to be able to literally offer something for everybody.
