This. I'm not sure why people are excited over this thing. I get that they were making it to someone's specs but for the commercial market it seems like the wrong direction. If they're introduce a new model based on existing parts it ought to be a 17 slide on a 19 grip or a 19 slide on a 26 grip.
The market disagrees. Sig sells a lot of carry sized pistols(full size grip and compact slide). Their 320 offering with the compact frame and fullsize slide has trouble selling even when discounted and being the only SKU in stock in 9mm. In fact, the Full Length Slide Compact 320 was discontinued altogether.
It's not that. I'm just wondering why so many people want short slide/long grip instead of long slide short grip. The only reason I have a G19 is because I have to watch out for the grip of my G17 printing. If I weren't moving over to the PX4 compact I would save up for some Gen 4 G17's and send them out to be chopped. Maybe even G34's.
