Subcompact
In the context of firearms, subcompact refers to a handgun (almost always a semi-automatic pistol) that is smaller than a compact, itself smaller than a duty or full-size pistol. … The subcompact Glock 26 is 6.42” long, 4.17” tall, 1.30” wide, features a 3.43” barrel, and is fitted with a 10-round magazine.
A sub-compact to many people is considered a pocket gun or a backup weapon. Personally, I like the sub-compact size for CCW because they are lighter and easier to carry anywhere. Sub-compact barrels are typically around 3.25 inches, though some are a little longer, some shorter.
