One reason I have not traded my 6946 for an M&P (or even a Glock) is that it has a 3.5 inch barrel, which is a good compromise between concealment, a useful sight radius, and a barrel long enough to generate good velocity and the grip is short enough (especially with a modified 5906 magazine floor plate) to conceal. The only thing more concealable for me would be a 3913.
Yeah, I would agree.
