A subcompact pistol is the smallest version available of a full-sized, full-power handgun. Typically retaining the features you love about the full-sized models, a subcompact pistol shrinks the length and height—and only marginally shrinks the capacity—into a model that is ready for deep concealment, backup use and other specific purposes. While you can’t use subcompact magazines in full-sized pistols (they aren’t long enough to get the top round in line with the feed ramp), most subcompact pistols can accept the larger-capacity magazines of their full family line.
Some manufacturers have started shipping their subcompacts with a full-sized grip extender that is a component of the magazine. This makes target shooting more fun with subcompacts, and, if you can conceal the slightly taller pistol with that magazine installed, it gives you the additional capacity and ergonomics that extend the subcompact gun’s utility. Whatever your lawful purpose and practical need, a subcompact pistol provides you a solid, reliable platform for deep-concealment primary and backup guns.
