Yeah, I don't get the full size grip with a compact slide idea myself
Yup. Especially because the longer barrel and slide are the easy part to hide when carrying.
While it may true the slide/barrel is typically the easy part of the gunto hide vs the butt, it is not always the case with every body type. For example, one of shorter stature may be able to conceal well a full size butt AIWB but a long slide/barrel may go into their pelvic crease making it impossible to sit down or even bend at the waist while a shorter one fits fine and accommodates full mobility.Its about diminishing returns on concealment. Anytime we add grip to a gun it will shoot better but the whole point of shortening a slide length is concealment and adding grip length back takes away from the concealment part.
But its good to have options.
Don't be hasty to discount something just because you're not seeing it, similarly to the forward mounted rear sight. Changes are there might be legit reasons for its existence.
