What are the main criticisms of the FN 509 Tactical and Sig Sauer P938?

The FN 509 Tactical is criticized for its heavy, hinged trigger, which Hegshot87 feels hasn't improved enough. The Sig Sauer P938 is regretted due to its low 6-round capacity and high price point in the current market for micro-compacts.

The SCCY CPX-2 suffered a mechanical failure where the magazine catch detached after only 50 rounds. The Diamondback AM2 exhibited inconsistent performance and lacked modern features like optics readiness.

How does Hegshot87 evaluate the value of compensated pistols like the P365 X-Macro Comp?

Hegshot87 believes the compensated version of the Sig Sauer P365 X-Macro does not offer enough performance benefit to justify its higher cost over the standard model, making the base version a better value.
