I’m a Cooper fan and a 1911 fan. He wasn’t wrong but was a product of a different era IMO.

Were he around today and 35 years old. I suspect that he’d be an advocate of polymer striker fired 9’s.
Probably.
I know that you’re a big collector/gun guy. If you haven’t already checked out the Sig Macro look at one when you get a chance. I’ve commented on it in the handgun forum and really like it. I think you’ll like it too.

I just can’t see buying a comped gun for a carry pistol. Might be fine for plinking.
Buy a standard Sig P365 and never look back. It’s very reliable with everything I’ve tried in it. And damn accurate too for a small 9mm. Best “small” carry pistol I’ve ever purchased.
I don’t disagree.

I’d prefer it without the comp. It isn’t noticeably louder to my ear but I haven’t really noticed much of a recoil reduction either.

I’d like it better with either a full length barrel or shortened without the comp.

What I really like about it is how compact and concealable it is while fitting my 2x hands and being easy to shoot with a full a capacity Glock 17 size mag in a slimmer gun. Sigs have obviously never been known for their low bore axis but the 365 grip IMO guides the hand into a high hold better than anything I’ve handled.
