For me at least, the question between 6 and 7 shots is so obvious and simple. They are the same gun, feel exactly the same, to me, when it comes to shooting, so why in the world would I choose a platform that only has 6 rounds when I could have the identical platform with 7? Maybe if you carry an autoloader the difference between 15 and 17 is not particularly important, but when you have 6, a seventh can be a big deal, especially when you lose NOTHING to get the seventh. I can understand why someone would not go to 8 rounds because the N frame is alot larger, but with the same frame size, it's a no-brainer for me. That being said, it is a bummer that Safariland does not make a Comp II for the 7 shot.
