[QUOTE="druryj, post: 3214501, member: 10465"] The [U]main [/U]reason I chose the 43X over the 48 is because I already had several good quality holsters for the 43, (which , sadly, I no longer have) that fit the 43X perfectly. I know that the additional length of the 48's slide and barrel would give me a bit more muzzle velocity and a longer sight radius as well. But the 43X is overall a bit smaller, and I already have the leather and kydex for it, so... As most of us realize, every handgun is a compromise in some fashion or the other. We give up something in order to gain something else. Size for capacity. Weight for recoil reduction. Barrel length for muzzle velocity. Etc. If I had still had a 43, (which I wish I did), then the 48 would have been my choice and by virtue of switchy-swatchy magic , I would have all three variations! But hey, life is good...I'm satisfied. If I need to carry something larger or with more capacity that than the 43X, I'll carry my Sig M11 A1. [/QUOTE]
