Why the hell would you even compare a micro compact to a full sized handgun? They're completely different beasts.
Why use a micro and hang all those doodads on it?
Micro guns are for easy conceal, No?
Hey! I know! Let's buy a tiny gun and make it larger! Brilliance!
I probably posted this once before, it's Clay Martin running 10,000 rounds through a Hellcat. He did it again in the same gun a few months later.
Ironically, the Hellcat came in last place in the video in Post #1.
That certainly an opinion…no different than having an opinion that all anyone needs to carry is a 5 shot snubby.Why use a micro and hang all those doodads on it?

The video in Post 1 acknowledged that the Hellcat had the least malfunctions of the 6 guns tested…the guns were rated on several different criteria…if you watched it…Ironically, the Hellcat came in last place in the video in Post #1.
They used the G17 as the standard they were most familiar with and as a baseline. Kinda, like using ballistics gel to test penetration. It isn’t flesh and body parts, but it consistent.I bashed the biased evaluators and their biased evaluation method, not Glock. While I prefer Glocks to most brands out there, I disagree that the Glock 17 is the standard by which all other pistols should be judged. The evaluators lost credibility to me when they announced their scoring system as 1 to 5 where 5 was a Glock 17--a system they admitted they might be criticized for using. In my view, an unbiased standard should have been a hypothetical "perfect" pistol (which does not exist). That would make a useful video considering all the shooter's experience. In this case, the deck was stacked and the conclusion not worth the time.
I would respond similarly to a video that compared all duty handguns to a 1911.
Allow me to refute.But the reality is the value of having a more precise aiming device than iron sights is irrefutable,
Exactly. And to add to this: not enough training goes into near ready draw and use. Tight halls/passageways/peaking around corners…near ready that mess.The overwhelming majority of times that you would need to use a handgun defensively it will be in an “oh shit, I’m about to die” situation that will occur at a distance of 6’ or less.

I do the vast majority of my carry gun training shooting from retention, and not using the sights at all. Seecamp does not even put iron sights on their guns.
If you are shooting competition , or have a job that you will be frequently drawing your gun, yes, optics will be a big plus.
