Plenty of other manufacturer's made compacts long before DW, who didn't start doing it until the ECO, what 2 years ago?

No; compacts generally have 4-41/4" slides;'subcompacts have three inch slides.

Usually, a compact is a Commander length slide on an Officer's size grip frame.

I thought that was a "CCO"?

True; but this is in the MIMber forum, so I was speaking to their "Compact" models.

Ah yes, you are correct. Didn't even realize I was in the mimber section. ...:eek: So, I am...... :outta:

I am last but I am proud. I have done some work on this unfired, idiot scratched beauty and it is a really nice piece. Oe day I will shoot the crap out of it, get over the scratch and either sell or put is in the fun rotation. Right now it has permanent safe duty to remind me to pay attention. There is value in that. :)

Nice pistol Dennis!!

Right back at ya. Caleb.goodluck with my Mimbers over the years with none of the chronicled brass in the face, etc. The fit and finish are not what I expect with high dollar guns but it is especially good for the $s. The mechanical function is there, triggers are better than some but not like my Wilson's but again they are good and I think if I knew what I was doing they would be easy to fix. I haven't had problems but the customer service folks on the phone are friendly and knowledgeable. What is wrong with that?

I note some interesting tweaks on both those MIMbers!

I had no issues with the Target Stainless I had (pictured above) and should of never foolishly traded it. The fit was looser than one of pig's street walkers but, it ran like a top. The trigger was smooth as butter and very positive. If I could turn back time, I would of not traded it. Oh well, live and learn.
