Would a "micro compact" (Shield plus, Ruger Max-9, Sig P365) be a bad choice for a first non-rimfire handgun? I know that smaller handguns are said to be more difficult to shoot well and not as fun to shoot and therefore not as likely to get practiced with. With the capacity of these small guns getting so large, it is awfully tempting to make my first handgun one that I can comfortably concealed carry.
I shoot my Sig P365 as well as my larger pistols. A P365 XL would be a good choice for a concealable micro. Both the barrel and grip are slightly longer. I like the 12 round mags in my 365 and that is the standard grip length on the XL version.

The Sig P-365's are as easy to shoot well as a full size pistol
