I think I might have made a mistake......

Mistake?

I don't know. Only you can decide that. I do know that I never buy compact anything. Well, maybe not never. I had a Model 66 snub-nose at one point. Would that count? Anyway, fs pistols are easier to hit with, and more comfortable to shoot, and really not all that much harder to conceal, at least in my experience.

I have them both and carry them both. I prefer the full size, but some times it's a lot easier carrying the compact. Especially in the summer months. I think in order to appease your mind you really just need to own both. That impulse is common sense telling you to buy more Smiths. How can that be wrong?

You shouldn't even ask such a question on this forum! Please realize most of us, myself included, are very enthusiastic about spending other member's money. We will almost always tell you to get both and probably even more.

I got the FS first, then the compact. I really like them both. The FS is better for the range but compact better, at least for me, for carry. The compact with full size mag is sort of in between.

If you can afford if, get them both.

I am thinking that if I get the fs mags and the extender that might curb my enthusiasm. Might try that first. Not like its a piece of **** that I can't stand. Maybe have the best of both worlds. Lolol.

Do this. I have the full size and compact and honeslty I shoot the SC as good as the full size, and I can conceal it easily. Add the x-grip adapters to the 17 round mags and you have a full size grip. Best of both worlds IMO.

I got it too - love my G30 - best carry gun I have - I think - but then I carry my custom 1911 - a lot - shoot both well and no real issues - like the compact better in warm weather and the big frame in cooler weather - hmmm - thinking I need ...

I love this answer - it is very easy to spend other peoples money; what you have to decide (and no one can do that for you) is what are you most comfortable with. Over the years I came to realize that I now own nothing but Smith and Wessons; I have traded off or sold my Berretta 9MM; my G27, My H&K 9MM that I picked up when I was stationed in Germany in the 70's; I now only own a S&W model 66 357 magnum; a 38 Airweight; a Bodyguard 380; and my new M&P40c; Each has its own unique job to do, and that changes all the time; Whats Best for you?
