Handguns come in all sizes and even a variety of shapes.
There are many reasons for this, such as concealability, ergonomic preferences and primary uses.
But I think most of us appreciate the many models approach as well I know I do.
Is one more accurate?
How about recoil management?
Capacity differences… etc.
So, when I can, I like to do a direct comparison a head-to-head if you will.
Lets start with the accuracy question because I think thats the most subjective.
If that is the case, what then is the point of testing or comparing?
Ergonomics and small differences can be big factors in how well Im able to shoot the gun.
It can be as simple as how comfortable one of my fingers feels when gripping it.
The 3.8 Compact squishes them together pretty tightly, leaving the pinky feeling a bit left out.
Sometimes, just that different feel in the hand can make a difference in my accuracy with off-hand shooting.
In other words, on any given comparison I never know what is going to matter most.
The deciding factor turned out to be the HEX Dragonfly.
