Subs and micros are far and away the biggest sellers in my area right now. S&W air weights, micro .380s, single stack sub 9s, and similar sized options are impossible to keep in stock. If I had 20 S&W Shields in, I could sell them at $600 each, within a week. LCP? S&W 642? Done and done. Easy money. Meanwhile, service pistols are second class citizens, relegated to HD and range roles.

Everybody is chasing 'small'.

Personally, I prefer to carry the largest and most capable choices that I can comfortably carry.
