The balance between design and size
In the firearm community there are some very well known facts, but they don’t always get the spotlight that they should. One of them is about the reliability of shorter versions of the 1911 style firearms. Sometimes the more you deviate from a reliable design, the more you deviate from reliability. I see an awful lot of people go for smaller, compact or sub compact versions of a firearm and the limp wristing and an ammunition tolerances seem to decline. The lighter the slide, the more likely the gun is not going to handle the same volume of fire, may need more gun lubrication and most likely will be more prone to limp wristing. One of these examples I have seen time and time again are with 1911s and the Springfield XD models. The standard size firearms are extremely reliable, but the other shorter versions are not.
When it comes to gun holsters, I recently found that although I like certain gun holsters, it doesn’t mean I like them for every gun I own. Most recently I was ordering a restock on the Don Hume gun holsters and I ordered several of the Don Hume Jit holsters for every gun that they made them for. I have never used one for a Glock 19, but I thought I’d give it a try. A j-frame, or Sig 239 work really well in these holsters because they are smaller and thinner than a Glock 19, but the Glock 19 that I tested them out on felt kind of flimsy. I was looking at this holster as a CCW option, but it really did not hold up against my body like the other firearms did.
