And not the compact? I bought the full size myself because the compact looks too small for my hands among other reasons, despite the interchangable grip. I use the large grip.

There is no .45 compact available yet.

 

[PR1]

Mag capacity.

I traded in a full-size G17 9mm for a full-size S&W 40 as part a standardization process (too many calibers at home).

The fact that a S&W is just barely bigger than a G23 mid-size was a happy coincidence.

I don't carry and I only like service and full size (tactical) models. 4 to 5" bbls. and long grips.

 

[rthomse]

because it looked good next to the compact

 

[news shooter]

Compacts don't fit my hand

and I don't carry anyway

 

[RonJon]

It was the only size that was being offered at Gander Mountain clearance sale.

 

[maximo]

So why did you buy Full Size?





Because it came out first..............Then I bought the compact.

 

[YukonGlocker]

Because it came out first..............Then I bought the compact.

Yep.

 

[chocoboy]

bcoz of the longer barrel, longer sight radius and most of all bcoz my tlr-1 can fit on d fullsize's rails and not on the compact's...



capacity isn't much of a concern.... 10+1 is more than enough for me.

I wanted a full size .40SW to use at the range and for competitive shooting since I carry a 40c daily for CCW.

 

[ClosetCaseNerd]

Because I can conceal it fine with an IWB and loose T shirt....

 

[tigs40cal]

well im not rich like the rest of the guys around here

so my 40 does it all,range,ccw,and at night it wears an m6 lazer/light by the bed.it hides well in its ctac.and with my double. mag carrier i got 46 rounds of 180 hydrashoks ready to go.and it just looks mean :wink:

 

[Spartan]

I bought a full size for Patrol Duty

 

[tstrenuous10]

There is no .45 compact available yet.

and the normal version wasn't available

 

[Chemung]

Because it's smaller and lighter than my .45 Combat Commander!

 

[targetsup]

Well when I bought mine the compact wasnt out yet. But waiting for the funds to build up for the compact MP40. Just cant wait!

At least it is now.

 

[machgt]

I'm a big guy and it conceals well enough when I dress right. Otherwise I put the taurus 85 on IWB
