I know that comfort shouldn't be the primary concern when choosing a handgun for concealed carry but it is A concern.

I started out with a fullsized steel CZ75B. 22 years later I've downsized to my plastic fantastic Glunk 19. There were a couple of other steps along the way but ultimately I quit carrying the CZ because it was like walking around with a brick on my hip.

When I transitioned from my 4006 to my 6906 the weight difference between the two was the primary factor that drove my decision.

I understand the concept that the gun is supposed to be comforting not comfortable but the fact is if the pistol is UNcomfortable enough I'm not going to carry it.

How many of you actually carry a PiTA gun because you feel you're better armed with it

Comfortable carry is comforting for many.
Carrying around a cannon is not always easy and concealability comes into play, also. More powerful weapons are necessarily larger and heavier than less powerful alternatives but what many have concluded is that, for them, there is a "good enough" zone that balances ease of carry with what they consider sufficient self defense capability.

ETA: Without differing opinions, these boards would be dull.
