Came here to mention what Irelander did. Rifles, duty pistols, and competition pistols don’t need to be concealed. Carry pistols do. The way I’m able to conceal a large-ish pistol is going to cause printing issues with a dot, going off my experience with how bad it is just with a blocky back of a slide and kindof sharp rear sight. That plus cost is what currently holds me back. Those and waiting on standardization.
I know, yes, plenty of people conceal them. But I have a pretty high standard for how concealed is concealed enough, and right now doing it with a full size single stack or compact-ish double stack sans red dot requires squeaking every bit of performance I can out of my holster-belt-clothing combo in warmer weather. So I’m good where I’m at, though other peoples’ mileage may vary. For now.
In ten years, we may be at the point I don’t feel this particular set of compromises is reasonable anymore. We’ll see.
