(The Three-Second Answer)</h2> <p><strong>Short answer</strong>: If you are going to carry it, buy the <strong>M18</strong> — 3.9&quot; barrel, 7.2&quot; overall. If you want the longer sight radius for range work and competition, buy the <strong>M17</strong> — 4.7&quot; barrel, 8.0&quot; overall. That is the whole decision, because mechanically only <strong>three parts</strong> separate the two pistols: the slide, the barrel, and the recoil spring assembly. Everything else is the same gun — same Fire Control Unit (FCU), same grip height and width, and the 17-round standard magazines are <strong>fully interchangeable</strong>, as are the 21-round extended magazines.</p>
