I appreciate the post on the Equalizer.
I'm actually surprised that isn't a common model name from other companies considering the Sam Colt quote. Anyhow, I will put that on my wish list for some day if they use a standard 1911 thumb safety. There's a low thumb version that acts as a leverage shelf and gets the thumb away from the slide. The option shown without the thumb safety looks like a good option too.

Yes, Sootch does good reviews, for the most part.
I have seen them for $499... I still need to find one to get my grubby paws on, so I can see if I like the "feel" of it.
I handled a friend's Springfield Hellcat, and it wasn't too bad... I think they are similar in size.
I have found that my Glock 19 is the most "natural" feeling pistol so far... when executing a rapid draw from concealment, I never have to shift my grip, etc... it just fits into my hand naturally.
I normally wouldn't worry about rapid draw, but I am on the safety/security team at my church, and the situation could present itself there, and I wouldn't want to be fumbling around trying to get ready to respond.
Day to day carry is a Sig P938, which I like a lot, especially for size, but it does not draw as naturally as the Glock does. I have to shift my grip around a little to release the safety, which adds a little time to the response. It is more of a "deliberate draw" thing for me, which fits in with what uses I might have for it, day to day.

Security at a church is an honorable ministry. I used to lead the ushers before the church shootings were in the news. We were doing security to a degree as part of our responsibilities. Nothing much happened, other than a guy who lived next door to the church stormed in during a couple services to announce that someone parked in front of his driveway. He had a history of shooting a family member of his.
I was wondering if there's much problem transitioning from the Glock grip angle to Sig? If you don't, then this S&W should work . I think they are the same. The Sig 938 looks like a high quality 1911. That's a fine weapon. Sig knows how to make them small, accurate AND reliable. I personally am not concerned about a single stack capacity in that role. If it has 7 round mags, two thin spares provide 22 altogether. They are probably more comfortable to carry than most doubles if I would guess. We now have a couple more options that are changing that issue. I think that's a good thing.
What features about the S&W do you like?

I like the grip safety/easy cock mechanism. I also like the internal hammer, which apparently gives it a pretty nice single action trigger pull. I'm sure it's not as crisp as a Ruger or Smith revolver, but not much is.... certainly not striker fired pistols. This one might be close, and it might be "smoothable"...
I also like the increased capacity, for a "semi-duty gun"
The larger, deeper grooves for gripping the slide are nice, as well....
I guess I like nearly everything about it... sounds as if I'm talking myself into one, doesn't it?

A very careful polish, without rounding or changing edges/ angles, can make a good trigger pull very special. The pull weight is already good for me at under 5#.
That might be one feature that makes me like it a tiny bit // more than the Sig 365 xl.
Sigs have a special place in my heart though.
That just LOOKS good. ☕🙂👍
I miss those square trigger guards on metal guns. You know that style was popularized for a time by a couple gun smiths that made it a custom feature for competition. S&W decided to add it as a design for that time as did Sig with their 225. Sig has a variety of attractive models as does S&W, but that vintage is the prettiest IMHO . 😙👍
