Great guns but, as several people have said, somewhat application-specific. It'd be a great platform for a dedicated "bedside table gun," since a longer barrel, rail-mounted light, and possibly even a suppressor if your State allows it are ideal for such a setup.*

As a carry piece, notsomuch. Unless you're planning to open carry (Montana?), it's just too bulky. That nice long barrel and comfey grip come at a price.



*I refer to such as a "Boston gun," after Boston T. Party, the first gun-writer I read advance this concept. It may not have been his idea, but that was where I heard of it first. Boston does not mention suppressors, and such could easily render the pistol unwieldly in close quarters.
