So I thought I should look at the performance metrics on those before I go chasing after another shiny thing. (G43X was the last shiny thing I chased... and caught.) And the nut of the question (and I would pose this directly to you, GJM) is - if you *knew* you were going to be in a pistol fight at dusk today, in unspecified circumstances, what concealable pistol would you choose? That is the question I seek to answer for myself. What concealable pistol can I shoot the best- across all performance metrics? I'd like to pin down that pistol that I am already best with, and then train up from there - if that makes sense.
Also, you (GJM) are an above-average shooter and can probably use an LCP to outshoot most people who are using the pistol of their choice. I think that for the rest of us mortals, the pistol may make a bigger difference perhaps? I get around okay, but I can also use all the help I can get. :D
ETA: Totally with you on the grip angle thing. I shot Glocks exclusively for the last 30 years, but more recently got a PDP which I am trying to learn to love. That would make the Macro a good fit - but if can run the PDP measurably better than everything else, I would just deal with the size/concealability issues.
