My AM2 arrived today, but it was an early version, and DB requested that I send it to them for the latest updates. Evidently not many guns went out before the upgrades, but I'm lucky like that, right. I didn't even take the gun home. My LGS let me compare it to a G43 and G26, and it's sort of in-between, leaning closer to the G43 in dimensions. I'll do a full review once the gun returns from DB. The AM2 looks good. Just a couple areas of that big ol' question mark, and that's the beavertail and the trigger. The trigger is one of the upgrades (thank you) and I think the barrel has also been reworked. We'll see when it gets here.
I'm pretty sure it won't compete with the Sig P365 in size, but for now I have very little info to compare it to. The Sig has a 3.1" barrel vs the AM2's 3.5", which is huge in tiny gun world. But that makes the AM2 a little longer overall. Oh well, it's one of those compromises. I'm not positive, but I think the P365 has the same slide width as the AM2 @ .975". Correct me, please. The Glock 43 is .865", and that's fairly significant in tiny pistol world. I don't pay attention to overall width, since that normally means the slide stop or other lever(s) are being counted in the overall dimensions. I never believed those slight protrusions should be considered. To me, Slide width, height, and overall length play the most important roles. Besides loaded weight, of course. Ah, now we run into comparison conflicts. A 6+1 G43 will be lighter than any 10+1. It's up to you to decide if the additional weight is worth the additional capacity. No free lunches, so to speak.
If you're dead set on the more capacity the better, then we're talking. If you're comfortable carrying a G26, then the AM2 is right up your slimmer alley. The Keltec P11 has been around for years, but it seems that higher capacity hasn't made the spotlight until Sig introduced that P365. But wait! Yep, others have already been out there. Don't get me wrong, I think Sig's introduction of the P365 has awoken shooter's minds to the worth of higher capacity, as long as it's not cumbersome on a daily basis..
Stay tuned. I'll do a full review when the AM2 returns. Can't wait!!
