No, I don't have a SIG.
A 1911 (0.9" width at slide) is slimmer than a Glock or similar (about 1.2") but still a bulky thing to wear IWB.
Suppose you could get a gun that was only 0.5" wide and weighed only, say, 8 ounces. And held, say, 20 rounds, and the rounds were light and slim, maybe caseless, but would still penetrate body armour and do big damage. And the gun could be rapid-fired with no muzzle lift at all. Wouldn't that be a nice option to have?
I know this all sounds rather Jetsons or Robocop, but it just seems weird that the very best pistol that the 21st century can muster is only a moderate improvement over a 100 (okay, 97) year old design. Jeez, you'd think we'd have handheld disintegrators by now.
