"Typically it refers to the largest non-long slide version of a model. It astonishes me that people have spent like 5 pages debating this nonsense."
As I said before, we're not talking about how to carry a bigger gun, or making a judgement on any gun being carried. I asked out of curiosity. I didn't realize that people on PF could seriously ask some of these questions. I'm packing a 6.5" M29 today. It only carries 6 rounds. Does that make a G19 a bigger gun because of its magazine capacity? Ridiculous.
