More modular designs.

Compact frames that are CCW friendly but that can use full size magazines with grip extensions that extend the grip to that of a full size pistol.

And these compact frames should allow for the use of full length or competition length slides.

Also the ability to change calibers. An ability to turn my CCW compact 9mm pistol into a full size 10mm firearm for hunting.

Sig is moving in this direction (sans the ability to change caliber).

EAA Tanfoglio sells kits for changing caliber. My 9mm Witness Polymer Compact has a 10mm caliber conversion available in compact and full size (if I am not mistaken).

Ultimately I think that versatility is the key. In my case I would like to own one pistol that I can modify to suit different purposes, instead of having to own one dedicated pistol for each different use.
