Good article. I have several (if not all & more), of the aforementioned double stack compacts listed in the article including my recent addition FN 509C with Trijicon SRO optic. I'll go further than this article's stated trend, and have gone to barrel lengths of 3.6" & 3.7" double stacks. To this end I've purchased the S&W 2.0 compacts (3.6" bbl) in 9mm & 40, the Beretta 92FS Compact (3.7" bbl), in 9mm and the Sig P365 XL optic ready (3.7" bbl) 9mm. As the article states, you can carry larger capacity mags with their optional mag sleeves, for potential reloads. I've yet to try to carry IWB, and want to see/feel how this compares to the single & compact (3.3" and less bbl) double stacks as far as comfort and printing goes.An Official Journal Of The NRA | Double-stack Subcompact Pistols in the 21st Century

I got the G27, accurate & reliable, also got 1st gen S&W 9mm Shield, both great guns.
I tried to like Glock when I got my first carry license. Wanted the G26 for concealed carry. However I guess I am just to set in my ways by owning the 1911 platform through many years and couldn't get along with the grip angle . I never did by the Ruger semi auto .22 for the same reason.
I have nothing against the Glock platform other than that grip angle.

I agree with everything they said, I like my compact so much I bought a MOD-2 Tactical for the range.
I know Glocks work, but they never fit my hand.
We all tried a Glock 19 and didn't care for the grip angle and the way the undercut impacted my knuckle.

Everyone that "trys" my 19 at the range doesn't care for it. A friend called it a Tupperware gun.

Had quite a few, but I’m pretty much down to two that I normally use; P30skV3S and a USP40 Compact V1 with a .357 barrel.
I need to pick up another VP9SK, but I won’t carry it...I’ve found I much prefer hammered pistols over strikers for carry (with the exception, of course, for the P7...which is not a compact).
