Pretty gun.

As an aside, I have never understood a rail on a compact pistol.  The purpose of a compact is to reduce bulk and weight.  The purpose of a rail is to add heavy bulky items.

I have to agree with you on the rail and another thing is all the sharper squared cuts...everything needs to be rounded over and dehorned!

The reason I posted is they are doing a 10mm chambering!

Oh...I love it.  Glad they are doing a 10 and it is a beauty.

I got mine with a rail for use during Hunting with a bipod/monopod (I have one for my T/C Contender)

For a Bedside only firearm, I can see a small form flashlight. If I am going to add a laser, it will either be a grip laser or a rear sight laser.

But if it is a bedside firearm, why not a full size?

The only reason I see is if you are a one gun person.  Talk about unicorns...Who only has one gun?

I said I "can see"  certainly not what I would use (Looks over at the 6D Cell Maglight)

I have practiced holding the maglight and resting my shooting arm across it.

I hear ya.

My house protection firearm has a light on it.  An Aero Precision AR with a 16" barrel in 300 blackout.  And I have two more flashlights on the night stand.  And a gunvault with three 10mm's in it.
