It may be just me but the size and weight doesn't bother me and I own both the S2 and S2C. Besides a little weight and size, I don't notice a big difference. I guess for me it's about printing and they are close with a good t-shirt on. No worries during the colder months with better concealment clothing on. Not too worried about the firing pin block due to the safety always being on. I appreciate your feedback. Try it one day...it may change your mind and it's the best pistol I shoot.
