***?
is there a legitimate reason to mount lights on a compact? the latest cover of _shooting times_ got me thinking... what is the point? I'm surprised it doesn't come with mudflaps and an air horn. (tactical mudflaps, no less)
from my limited perspective, the only reason i like a compact handgun is so it can be easily concealed (note: all my handguns in calibers >.22 and <.480 are compacts for precisely that reason). a monster flashlight makes concealment pretty much impossible for most people.
if you're not going to conceal it, why not take the full-sized model with extra weight for recoil-dampening, and larger size for more magazine capacity? not to mention, the extra real-estate to comfortably fit the two pages of warnings and disclaimers?
