To make it easier to conceal. The slide length actually doesn't matter that much for concealment unless you are using a shoulder holster. I guess we will need to wait and see if a 2.0 Sub-compact comes out.

Smith built the new compact to compete directly with the G19, wether Smith admits it or not. I'm glad they did because, I've been looking for a higher capacity CC. We will see if this one fill that role.
