I'm not sure I'm explaining that clearly. The Glock 19X balances better than a regular 19 for me, and I prefer my Colt Commander Rail Gun to my Government Rail Gun for the same reasons.

ETA - I just picked up an IOP M&P 2.0 Compact 4" on Wednesday along with a blue label Glock 19.5. I really like them both though I haven't had an opportunity to shoot either yet. When I can put eyes on a 3.6" M&P I might not be able to resist the urge to bring it home.
But the weight out front steadies the muzzle and makes it easier to hit the target, does it not?
